Hi Stefan, I honestly apreciate your opinion. There's not a straight answer for why it must be an iMac, but let's ratter say that the 20-inch iMac is the Apple model I can afford right now, and to tell the truth, the only machine that — decorately speaking — combines my living room desk/working space. I really get paralized each time I see one of these silver beauties in stores. It's definetely the most beautiful machine Apple has to offer right now and IMMO the most well designed iMac Apple ever did. Nevertheless, with all the advices about dying Displays/Logic Boards, I am considering the 24-inch instead. I never liked the Mac mini and the display I woul ever buy — the 24-inch DELL one — is too much expensive here in Portugal. I am also at the point of giving up and letting my Cube rule a little longer, even having to wait on and on each time I plug my USB2 4GB Micro Vault to tranfer data. It's a shame market won't offer similar capacities FW400 options. Well, now that Apple is moving forward to FW800 only, FW400 will die pretty soon. Technology doesn't care about your feelings... Best, LM >>>On Fri, 13 de Mar de 2009 at 20:35, Stefan <no-spam at punkt-x.de> wrote: Hello Luis, ... Why must it be an iMac?
