Finally got my new imac yesterday and i love it. smile i havent had any issues with the super glossy screen and there are windows all over my house.
The keyboard is a big improvement in my opinion but i'm still getting used to the aluminiumlookof it. It's quite heavy for its size but gives it a robust feel, not cheapas some people have said.
i considered hacking up my G4 for the mod contest but a friend heard about my new computer and offered me $300 for it and well... i need the money!

In my opinion they look a lot better. I think the old ones are really ugly.

The new iMacs are super sexy.  I have thought of getting one but i'm much more a tower kinda guy.

Hope you enjoy it!
