Im glad I'm not the only person who doesn't want the optical drive to go already...I may not use it daily but I know for a fact I'd rather have it built in then have an external one sitting on my desk or something.

My desktop already looks like an octopus, with all the hard drives I have connected to my iMac

LoL, agreed-mine too! Thats all I need is yet one more gizmo attached to my machine. Enough. Leave the drive or at least offer 2 models, one w/ and one w/o.

I wish they would offer a 2nd FireWire port on the high end iMac and give it its own discreet bus. Sort of bridge the gap between the iMac & the Mac Pro for the more advanced audio/video guys who don't want the tower. Adding a USB port on the side for flashdrives as suggested earlier is also a great idea!
 
Would need...

In the left side of iMac I would like a possibility to have a toaster with a coffee distributer and to flip to beer tap for the evening. lol :rolleyes:
 
Don't think getting rid of the optical drive is so smart. They could try to incorporate blueray though, that would be a plus. Perhaps USB 3.0 and a eSATA port would be nice too.
 
We ALL know what the Imac should really come with built in....A tissue dispensary!
