Mac, meet Meatloaf...

So I'm home at my parents' house for the holidays. Of course that means I get to fix all the technological problems that have come up since my last visit and I get to integrate all the new technology my parents (read: my mother) have decided to expose themselves (read: herself) to. I guess it's my payment for occupying the guest room this week.

This visit, I'm helping my mother with the big switch: she bought an iMac. She's keeping her old Dell desktop too, so I set up a wireless network for her and I'm helping her move all of her files over to the new Mac. It's not a tough mission, but in the two-computer environment, the PC is downstairs at the desk and the iMac is on... the kitchen table.

This isn't even just a temporary spot. It's not that my mom walked in the door with the big Mac box and put it down on the table out of convenience while she took her shoes off. This is the new home of the Mac - right next to where we'll eat meatloaf tonight. I mean, I know the iMac is very sleek and the lack of all those wires makes it a more unconventional machine, but am I the only person who finds it weird to have a non-laptop on a kitchen table? Someone help me out here...
