Ok, I'm sold.  (Sorry RV, but ya couldn't "save" me from assimilation.  ) Maybe it's a good thing I'm not getting it now though, seeing as Leopard is coming out on the 15th. Be sure to lemme know how that works out.  I'm pretty surprised an iMac can be that powerful but that compact. I guess this show I saw on the Science Channel was right, Apple is a lot farther ahead than the others.
I'm pretty sure we have an XP home edition CD laying around. If it's cool with that, then I shouldn't have to worry about downloading it or buying a new CD. (I can just let it upgrade to Sp2)
Alright, now I'm sure this is the last thing I'm going to have to ask.
What antivirus program do you recommend? I obviously can't use Live OneCare.
And, just for the heck of it, are there any nifty programs it comes with off the shelf?

Just wait, I'll act like a Cyberman.

I'll definitely post my thoughts on Leopard once I get it (which will be very soon after it comes out). Apple is indeed much further ahead than the others -- I don't know why it consistently takes Microsoft so long to play catch-up!

Tons. All new Macs come with the iLife suite. Read more about it here:

(However, that same page says it doesn't hurt to have some extra software protecting you while you're at it. )
Uuugghhnn... *droool*....
This is why my sig is how it is now.
I'm swarming all over the apple website now, it's three months away but I'm already getting psyched about this!
Thank you so much again for all of your help. I've pretty much got my mind set on the iMac now. I just wonder what I'm going to do with the empty space where I had to put my PC?

They're just covering their asses. I've never even heard of any security software for Mac OS X, and have never run any myself. It's not necessary.

I know the feeling! It wasn't long ago that I was in the exact same position just before I got my MacBook Pro!

Haha, well I'm excited for you. I know you'll love your spiffy new iMac when you get it. 
On a side note, have you given any thought to which iMac model you're going to get?

Put a statue of Steve Jobs there so you have something to direct all prayer towards.

I think I'm going to go for the least expensive one. Maybe the second least expensive. I dunno, I'll have to talk to my parents on that one. Unfortunately for now they still supply the money.
The one on the far right costs so much I might as well get a pro.

The little people inside my head won't like that. Or they'd make innuendo jokes.

If you can go for the $1499 one, then you should by all means. But you'll still be fine with the $1199 if you can't, so don't worry.

True, but I'm sure Danny would appreciate not being the only one on the forum doing it.

See what I mean, Superkid? I think he's just sad that he doesn't have a Mac, and he takes it out on those around him.

I will. The monthly payment option seems pretty good too, they may be more comfortable with that.
Lol yeah, either that or he can't stand a corporate giant getting more money because he's a conspiracy theorist.

Pfft, I'm paying about 1,500 bucks here. Isn't that enough?

In the same way I'm sad I don't believe in God, am sad I don't own a PS3 and am absolutely shattered because I didn't pay for Windows.

About $700 more than enough.

In my honest opinion the space is better left for a statue of David Tennant at least.

RV will never understand. That's okay, though. We don't need him.

Someone's attracted to iMacs. And I couldn't blame them.

They're not just computers. They're beautiful.
