My iMac

Yesterday, I sold my MacBook Pro and ordered a new iMac!

I want the 27'' model (the screen is HUGE), but it may take some time to be delivered so if I do not have it by the end of next week I will probably buy the 21.5'' iMac.

Being a photographer, I need the extra space of the new 27'' iMac as well as the extra power of a 3.06Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU. Also, I was constantly using my MBP with an external monitor (that is also sold) and therefore the MBP was mainly used as a desktop machine; so my thought was "why not sell it and get a real desktop machine instead?".

I will let you know when I get my new iMac.

Note: the 27'' monitor is also good for iPhone programming :)
