Tempted.

I went to the campus computer store to check out the new Macs (my 6 year old iLamp is starting to get arthritic), and they have recertified 24" iMacs (2GB RAM, 280GHz, 250GB HD, IIRC) for $1399, the same price as the new 20" iMacs (roughly the same specs, but only 266GHz). They'll no doubt all be sold before my CDs mature, and even at "only" $1399 (plus tax and some software I'd want to add) that'd pretty much wipe my savings. So I get to wait.

OTOH, the salesman made a fairly good pitch for Google Docs, so I should give that another look soon.

280GHz? 266GHz? Did Apple silently perfect infrared optical computing? ;)
