new iMac line - perfect timing

A few weeks ago the good folks at the elliptical swItchthInk blog told us about the new line of iMacs coming soon, and an Apple press release this morning confirmed that they're now shipping.


We are due for a desktop upgrade. The 4+ year-old white iMac on which this post is being composed has a GPU that's often overheating (and that's after cranking the fans with smcFanControl). The display gets all stretched out with wonky 8-bit geometrical shapes and weird gooey bends and reminds this viewer of the freakout boat scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Fun, but annoying when you're trying to work. And its audio input and output jacks are very touchy.
