You're so fickle! You were going to marry geoshot if he could add pizza cooking to the JB thing!

I bought the 20 iMac a couple months ago for $1199 and since they came out with the new line someone here got a 24 iMac for like $900! He may wanna check on some close outs.

I know there are some good closeout prices out there on apple products but I would strongly reccomend getting the newer one. You get way better specs for a couple more hundred and I am sorry but 1250.00 for a brand new apple computer is CHEAP! I dont care what anyone says.

As for my computer I don't know what else to do I download like 5-6 albums from the computer and the computer totally chokes... I don't know what to do I am aggravated.

i understand, but he wont be using his for much other than checking email, updating his iphone and maybe music if i put some on it. the real work is going to be moving all his crap over which ill have to do. well discuss and decide whats best for him. money really isnt an issue for him, its more can he use it and is it easy for me to teach him how to use it.

Apple obviously has to be aware of the problem napolean so in the meantime what am I suppose to do? What would you do ? I feel like I hit a dead end. Dropped 1300.00 on a computer and now what it useless until apple decides to fix the problem? This is the one thing I hate about buying new products on release date .... There is only going to be something wrong.

If what you have stated above that's all your really going to be using it for then your fine going with a closeout model. If your going to be doing alot of pictures, photoshop, video editing, etc I would recommend the new one. Also if you get a closeout model you won't have the problem that I am dealing with now (lucky!) Im sure you two make a good team and will decide what's best for you! Goodluck and have fun. BTW will this be your first Apple computer?

Connie I got one a couple months ago and it is great. Cj is talking about the new models released just last week. The new mouse rocks!

Cj so what are these greater specs? I mean yeah I know it the 3.06 Ghz instead of the 2.66 Ghz that I've got and yeah you got the 21.5 screen compared to my 20 screen. I got 2 GB ram and a 320 hard drive, did yours come with more ram and a bigger hard drive? I can't remember.

What to do is a really hard call. You don't wanna settle for the old stuff as the larger screen and faster processor are worth their weight in gold. I say choke-slam Apple! They gotta know they have a problem and hopefully within a week or two they'll have it fixed.
