My iMac arrived! I must say that it has exceeded my expectations. I've had laptops for the past five years, a powerbook G4, and then most recently (gasp) an acer, so having a desktop system and being back on OS X is quite a nice change. I'm wondering how I went two years without a Mac.
My iMac plays fullscreen HD quicktime movies without a hitch, and I can run so many more apps at the same time. The display is great, I thought that the glossy screen might be an issue, but it isn't, I might even like it more than matte displays, I'm not sure yet.
I used to work at a PC computer store, and built my own desktop, this was nine years ago, so I had been opposed to an all-in-one system like the iMac, and preferred a fully upgradable desktop, if I was going to get a desktop. However, I really like the lack of cable clutter and the ease of setup and overall look iMac.
The one issue I've had, is that the keyboard that came with my mac is slightly bent. I'm hoping that I can return just the keyboard for a replacement. The keyboard works fine, and I like the design, but I expect it to be in pristine condition.
Overall I say well done Apple!

switcher about 6 months ago and I don't know what it would be like without it! Good luck.
