Your valued thoughts, please ??
Black Sheep:
After 8yrs of using my current desktop PC, we've (The wife and I) decided to purchase a newer, more modern PC.
During my day-to-day job, I see literally hundreds of different PC's, but the one that really caught my eye was the i-Mac. My wife likes the look of them and the fact that they are virtually 'wire-free', so the battle is almost won. ;) :D
What I hoping to obtain from you guys in the know, is, are there any pitfalls to the i-Mac that I should know about ?? Also, where would be the best place to purchase one from ?? IE- Are there any kind of trade-price websites I could visit, etc ??? We would only want a brand new one.
Thanks in advance, for any and all help. :)

It runs OS X rather than Windows so you will have to get used to a whole new operating system and it is quite different, although one gets used to it quickly.

I take your point about another OS, but what is the big difference between what I have now (Vista) and OS X ??? You'll have to forgive my naievity, but I'm not clued-up at all when it comes down to hardware/devices etc.

Quite a bit :). It looks very different, for example you don't have icons on the desktop, you have them in a folder, there is no start menu, and the applications are different to a PC so they will not run on a Mac.
