The iMac is a terrific machine. I have a 24" and love it. Rumors are that there may be an update to the iMac line very soon (possibly next week - if you believe them). I would wait until WWDC (next week) to see if this is true. Sine the Powerbooks were just updated, this seems like a good possiblilty.

I don't think you will save sales tax if the company has a physical presence in the the State (which Apple does). I would go to the store and enjoy the whole experience.

Hello,

I know this is a Linux newsgroup (Mint 3.0 is fantastic, IMHO), but I
did ask about an iMac a few months ago.  I think I'm ready to purchase
the iMac.

I'm looking at the 20" iMac as it has a DVD writer built in.  Is this a
good model?  I'm basically using it for web surfing, e-mail and making
DVDs (home movies and the like).

Also, does it matter if I buy on-line or go to the store in the
Biltmore?  On-line I would save about $120 in sales tax, but are there
any downsides (such as repair)?

Thanks for any advice.
