Of course I ordered it in blue - because the very bold red one is called "pink". Can't have that.
Anyway this M3 iMac is a very quick and nimble machine.
Due to semi-serious prep work, setting it up was a breeze (all manual,
no "migration" nonsense...)
Hope to have this nice machine for the better part of a decade - or more...

Neglected to mention:
Despite this late date, it shipped with Ventura (13.5) rather than
Sonoma (14.x). 13.5 was superseded on Aug 17.
So, methinks it was manufactured several months ago ...
Anyway, OS will update overnight, allegedly.
Also - I ordered it on day 0, received it today - but per the warranty
info the clock started on on day 0 (2023.11.01).
This is not right.

Why do you think this is of interest to anybody?
Thousands of similar machines are sold every day by Apple.

This is a Mac group. It is interesting that a recently shipped new
model Mac is still on "last year's" OS.

That *is always the case*. What do you think? They produce all machines
for the global pipeline one day before presentation?

I had the same reaction. There's not much to dislike. It's generally an excellent way to transfer your data from one Mac to another.

I used it once before and it was slow as molasses (ethernet 1 Gb/s).
IAC, this gives me a chance to review what I really want to move over,
re-do the settings from scratch, etc. and so on. Also used it for work
as files were copying over. My desk is a disaster zone though - 4
monitors at present (one is off and behind). Old Mac is in Screen
Sharing and in a space - so easy to pop back and forth and stay on one keyboard, trackpad...
One nasty thing ... used to be Finder would follow my date-time
preference (YYYY-MM-DD::HH:mm), but doesn't. Puts it up in
ack-basswards mode (November 9, 2023 ...
The workaround for this needs some study (need to execute some weird terminal command to set a format string ... sheesh!). I'll get to it
over the weekend once I figure it out...

Just for grins I messed with this, changed the date format, and found
it had
no effect on the display date for listed files in Finder.
Did you change all the date formats to be the same, or change the width
of the date column in the Finder?
Because I just changed my short date format from YYYY-MM-DD (all
represented in digits) to YYYY-Nov-DD (year and day in digits and month
as three character abbreviations) and it worked perfectly...
...provided the date column I was looking at was set to a width that
required the short format.

So
If the column is wider I see it as Nov 10, 2023, 18:48.
If the column is narrow I see it as 2023-11-10 .... w/o time of day.
On Mojave it shows in ONLY as I set it to be shown (YYYY-MM-DD and time).
Anyway, I'll have to dig around and find that command example - should

I find that highly doubtful.

Just for grins I messed with this, changed the date format, and
found it had
no effect on the display date for listed files in Finder.
Did you change all the date formats to be the same, or change the
width of the date column in the Finder?
Because I just changed my short date format from YYYY-MM-DD (all
represented in digits) to YYYY-Nov-DD (year and day in digits and
month as three character abbreviations) and it worked perfectly...
...provided the date column I was looking at was set to a width that
required the short format.
Which is stupid (not you, the setting).
So
If the column is wider I see it as Nov 10, 2023, 18:48.

On Mojave it shows in ONLY as I set it to be shown (YYYY-MM-DD and

All there is now is "Region" and "Date Format" for short formats.
[AAA] The old panel with the "short format", "Medium", "Long", "Full"
(under "Advanced") is gone. No more. Vanished.

Well that makes no sense at all.
It's only showing you one date format, but the Finder isn't adopting it?
Have you force-quit the Finder (i.e. right-click "Relaunch")
You're missing the point: Sonoma (perhaps Ventura) no longer has the
fine date/time settings of "short format", "Medium", "Long", "Full" -
as mentioned above.

It really sucks that Apple sees fit to just remove functionality like
this without explanation.

Especially since the underlying capability is still there - via issuing commands in terminal - but they stripped out the setting UI. Maybe they
gave someone two weeks notice and he slipped this in ....
