Anyone notice the HDD is noisy? I mean crunching along clickiety-clackety.

I received the 27″ iMac as a birthday present, and it replaced a 2006 20″ iMac. Huge difference of course; but Safari still crashes! But other than that, it’s fantastic. I’m still learning to deal with all the extra screen space.

Hold down shift while hitting the “Volume Up/Down” buttons to mute that beeping

Thirded. My main work machine is still an original Power Macintosh G5, purchased the week they were announced. It still does everything I need it to (although admittedly, I’ll probably need to upgrade in the next year or so). Why so quick to upgrade?

I second cobe’s question — what is your logic for getting rid of the late 2008 iMac? What’s wrong with retaining a 2008 iMac?

Beautiful, Kevin. I’m supremely jealous. I asked my boss for a $4k raise, just for a month, so I could get a new 27-inch plus two 30-inch monitors. Sadly, he wasn’t as keen on the idea as I was.

Sweet. Some idiots are calling the 27″ iMac Quad merely an overpriced, large-screen notebook computer, but I think it’s pretty sleek to get all that power into such a slim case.

Wow, that screen is very nearly a mirror! Wish they had the option for a non-glossy screen.
