Thanks HJ.

Bailey - my dad recently bought a new Mac and won't stop harping on about it

Does look nice though.

I'm on the old Power processor version. I talked my mum into buying one of the new iMac Intels.....it is frighteningly fast and competent......and the best bit.....it runs windoze software too!
Your dad's a wise owl!

I'll tell him you said that

It's a very nice piece of kit, and I like the fact everything's contained within the 'monitor' and just how quiet is it?

I'd love one - if just for the funky looks, but I've a hifi fetish (as you well know) to feed and pooters are somewhat low down the list.

Still - when I've managed to totally f*ck up re-building this PC who knows what may materialise. The swear box may be full enough to get one.

You.......hifi.....???
The other nice thing about about the iMac......it has built in optical audio in and out! There's a worthy excuse to digitize your collection

Or buy yourself a Mac and use 'Migration Assistant'.

aaah... a Mac. They don't crash, do they? ....

Oh yes, like all things, Macs do go wrong sometimes, especially when you keep changing what is on the hard drive.
However, having said that, I have an old G3 Powerbook (Pismo 2000) which hasn't been re-booted since August 2004! It works as a print server for my Wi-Fi home network, a music server for everyone on the network, a music player for FM distribution around the house, and has a second hard drive for wireless backup, Oh!... and as an occasional DV PVR when my HD recorder is busy.

It may be getting a re-boot soon as I am going to update it to Tiger from Jaguar, so it will talk to Leopard better.
