Getting An iMac--Now or Two Months Down?

Now THAT I'd like to see...
Have to have a whopping huge desk for three monitors side to side like that though. 
Last week I took delivery of a 24" iMac. Lovely machine - it is huge though. I need to re-engineer my desk to get it a bit lower... (my old PC had a mere 18" screen, which was fine sat on a ledge, but this thing is just huge! Had I mentioned that? 
)
This one has the 2.8GHz processor and 1Tb of disc space. Should last a while. A lovely machine. :thumbsup:
The keyboard is ok - I generally prefer clunky keys, but I'm getting used to this. Had no problems with the keyboard wire (went for the wireless Mighty Mouse - I read somewhere that Apple plan on introducing a wireless keyboard in the next few months that is basically the same as the one that ships with the iMac) but the power lead is a bit too short for me. Had to use an extension for it. Not a big problem.

^ There is already a wireless version of the 'aluminum' keyboard. Unfortunately, it's smaller than the wired version, and doesn't have a numeric keypad.
^ Why do you hate the mouse?
(You mean the Mighty Mouse, yes? AFAIK, it's the only one Apple still makes)
What's wrong with it?

The Mighty Mouse can have up to four.
It's all programmable through software. You can configure it for 'one' or 'left/right' click.
And if the latter, you don't have to lift your left finger to right click...
Actually it turned out to be more of a mousepad issue. At first, if I moved the mouse just a little bit, the cursor would go flying off every which way (and the curser was about to do the same
), but when I replaced the mousepad with a spare from work everything started working smoothly :thumbsup:.
NOWNOWNOW... Better yet but two and send me one...

What a good thing you didn't introduce the mouse to the wall for their brief relationship then
Is the Mighty Mouse as hard to clean (the scroll wheel) as everyone says it is?
I wish Apple still made the regular mouse...

Yeah, It's a good thing that I didn't let my frustration get the better of me . . . besides, I never was any good as a matchmaker.
