After all I've been through with this MDD dualie the past several days, I
couldn't in good conscience try to unload it on anyone else without a HUGE
number of "as is" disclosures, which likely would bring the sales price down

Those new Intel iMacs are looking better by the minute! Of course, there's
never a good time to part with all that money unexpectedly.
