Quote - Okay, the iMac 2.66 Ghz 24" looks like the best bet for the price - does anyone have complaints who's using the new iMacs?  I tell ya, this old emac has been bulletproof - knock on wood.

Oh, btw, I'm scrollin' around with a new Logitech TrackMan - "thumb-driven"... wish me luck, and I really don't spend that much time on the computer ; )

Well I have been using a 20" for several years (two), and it has been pretty good. The iMac has had it's evolution. When they first shipped in this form factor, they used to have G5 processors. This model was one of the baggiest most unreliable Mac ever maid by Apple. Once they introduced the Intel processors they seemed to have worked out the problems. I personally attribute much of the problems of the early G5 models to heat. The Intel Core processors are a lot cooler faster and overall a much better choice.

I know this is all anecdotal, but I know about 8 people that have Intel iMacs, and they are all in good working condition. My brother bought the first 17" model that has been already discontinued. The only problem he had was a bad HD, but that can happen to any computer an any given time. It was repaired under warranty.
