comes end of the month due to being a duty free job from comet at airport so saved a bit of cash. its only the lower powered one with 22 odd inch screen. 27 is just too big for me. hopefully it will last me a while. had my current mac since 2003. never had any dramas with it. nearly bought a pc, but i just prefer the way my mac works now so thought id just upgrade it.
just wondering if it will be able to stream films etc to the ps3 so i dont have to keep using a memory stick?
looking forward to getting it anyway. atleast it will be able to work with my iphone as my current comp is that old it doesnt even see it when plug it in. nothing appears.
happy days anyway.

The new iMacs are beautiful!
I have an older one
Mac to ps3 streaming is easy. There's a program called 'PS3 Media Server' that does the job.

My old one still good just out dated so certain stuff won't work. I thought about a pc but I just ain't a pc person. Feel clumsy to use to me. All I do is edit video and go on net so it should be ideal.
This ps3 stream thing will be great as well.

You are aware you've only bought this because of apples marketing, there's much better on the Market and you've been ripped off because apple sell them for more than it costs to make them...

right first thing to annoy me is that i cant delete music from the iphone. can put it on no problems. just cant delete it.
is this because its been authorised with another computer? ive clicked authorise in itunes etc and it still wont let me delete things.
