Nope, I'm waiting for a new Mac mini.
Waiting... Still waiting... Come on Apple!

EDIT: If I happen to have enough money when the iMac is upgraded, I'll be getting one.
 
I'm also waiting for a new iMac 24". I recently sold my main computer and is now on a temporary super old Powerbook. I was going to buy the current one but after reading the recent rumors I'm holding on.

But what are the sure signs for an update? Does the limited stock tell anything at all? Are there usually greater signs of an update?:confused:
Since this is my first time waiting I'm curious.

I bought the last Powebook model back in 2006. Three weeks later the Macbook with the intel processor was introduced and I don't want to do that mistake again.

But I agree with you all, the wait is almost unbearable...

I posted in another thread that one of the dudes at Apple said he expects something by the end of the month. May or may not be true, but it keeps hope alive.

As for my situation, my money is also burning a hole in my pocket. I was about 5 seconds away from buying the recent model, but decided I could wait a few weeks. I don't really need it right now I just hate waiting.
 
The third reason, and this is the funniest one, is that my Wife currently has an old Acer Windows XP laptop that's three years old and is on it's last legs. Therefore, when I move away from the iMac to eat, drink, pee, or sleep she's on it like a vulture checking emails, eBay, Bebo, and the latest gossip on Perez Hilton. This, as you can understand drives me insane since when I leave the Mac it's got Dreamweaver running and when I return there's Celebrity Gossip, Buy It Now Auctions, and other nonsense going on! So having a "second" iMac in the home could be beneficial in that if my Wife has access to this one, it keeps her the hell away from my new one!

You should look into using fast user switching.

No , don't do it , have faith , it WILL be updated ....Viva la Mini!!!!!!!!!
 
But she's your wife! Don't you adore her.

Of course. I took her out for a lovely meal last night since it was Valentines, but that still doesn't mean she should swoop in to "claim" my Mac when I leave the room for a moment.

She has a laptop that can access Bebo, Perez Hilton, etc ... it's not my fault it runs Windows and I've converted her to Mac OS X. :D :apple:
