The I-Tunes selection is something I particularly enjoy accessing. Musically, there is the garage band feature which offers guitar and piano instruction. The Apple computers are very reliable. from Amazon.com I took the plunge and bought and iMac 3,06 Ghz 24" with 4 MB ram and 1 TB hard drive. I opted for the wireless mouse as it gives you some freedom of movement but stayed with the normal plug in keyboard as it plugs in under the unit. from Amazon.com I have not put up shades, which of course would solve that issue. The computer is fast and fun to use and I just love it. Best Apple computer I have owned. from Amazon.com I purchase this as a replace for an eMac (17" CRT iMac from while back) that finally had a hard drive failure after 5 years. Being so old, I decided to just replace it for him to a new iMac. from Amazon.com Apple gets one star for Poor quality control, I used to believe in Apple products not any more. I should have picked up on, but missed was the fact the power cord was not in plastic wrap, it was just rolled up and at the bottom of box. from Amazon.com This is another in a long line of iMacs I have purchased and it is again far superior to the one i upgraded from. They keep getting bigger with every new one I get and I get compliments all the time when people have the opportunity to see it in action. from Amazon.com I think I've seen that hourglass thingy once since owning this. I remember moving from Blackberry to iPhone and being instantly amazed. The move from PC to iMac was similar. Now when I open my older laptop (Windows) and work I am reminded what drudgery working on a PC was and I think ... from Amazon.com I have kids and they like to play PC games - and that is why I went to the XP and Vista Dell and Gateway computers previously. Now for this computer it looks fabulous - if a computer can be beautiful this one is. I have a 24 inch screen and while I need to calibrate it (which I have not done yet) my photos look great. I have the small keyboard that does not have the numeric pad with it, I don't ususally use the numeric pad so that was not a problem for me. from Amazon.com I've been an on again-off again Mac / PC user for 20 years. This new iMac has made me a Mac convert forever. from Amazon.com With a really big 24-inch LED screen, 4GB of RAM, a 640MB hard drive, a fast Core 2 Duo Intel processor and a reduced price, this new Apple iMac is truly a bargain. Everything works as it should, quickly and silently. from Amazon.com
