Please feel free to ignore everyone who is expressing their regrets on your behalf that a new model will be available in early 2009. These people generally fall into two categories: those who have money to burn and love to buy the newest hardware at each release, and those who never buy anything because they are always afraid the next iteration will be better.

I have a 20" aluminum iMac I bought about 9 months ago when switching. It's quick, runs all the software I need, has never had virus, malware, crashing, BSOD, or other common MS problems, and I love it. And another reason people love Apple is that your iMac should last you several years if you take care of it--lots of people on these forums still run G4s without any problems.

Congratulations--I hope you enjoy your iMac for many years to come.:D
have to agree ..got an aluminum 20 inch 4 weeks ago..not worried about new stuff coming out..thats an endless chase..
although i did have blue screen on startup issues a week ago which I found frustrating considering it was only 3 weeks old. It was easy enough to fix though without any data loss so Im happy
 
I can't wait to open it on christmas but it's just sitting there waiting for me. My parents and I went and got it yesterday it is a 20' iMac 2.66Ghz 320GB HD 2GB RAM. I am so excited!!!!:)


I feel sorry for you.....



but only coz your parents are making you wait until Christmas??!!!





WHY? You know its there, its not a suprise!

Must be absolute torture
 
Must be absolute torture

Oh it is!!!:(

Thanks for all your opinions =] I have to say that I think this iMac is going to do everything I need it too, especially when Snow Leopard comes out and it does it really quick too!

I am use to apples, my old school had them and thats when I fell in love with the systems that never bogged down and died. So I can't wait to get on there and use the system I love, and never have to use the family PC again!
 
Boxing Day Bliss!

I got my iMac yesterday and didn't have a chance to use it and am so excited that I can get on the internet with it after all the complications of this morning with other computers on the network =]

I want to say thank you to everyone who encouraged me and I will totally love this computer forever, my first Mac! It's amazing :D

P.S. I love the keyboard!
 
The keyboard is nice, though it gets dirty easily!

You have to wonder about the doommongers telling you you should have waited for the next updated model to come out, while singularly failing to undertsand that you're getting the iMac as a Christmas present. Duh!
 
to bad a new one is coming out soon

Who cares? I just bought a 24 inch 2.8 and I could care less what comes out next month, or the month after that.

I'll have it in a couple days, and I'm sure the glossy screen is just terrible.
:cool:
