Updated today. I have $29 in my iTunes account ready to go for 10.7.

This came in the mail yesterday (my wife called me) and I wonder if it will have Lion or not. If not, maybe it will be a free DL when available.

Me and Sirius_Daughter will open the box tomorrow night when I swing by from my business road trip and pick her up from school. I think I am more excited about the iMac than she is and she is jumping up and down with joy.

3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
MAGIC TRACKPAD
Apple Num Kybd+User's Guide-JZ
COUNTRY KIT,IMAC

Sirius_Daughter earned the above by meeting pre-determined and agreed upon school goals.

Congrats to the daughter and to you Dad for teaching her to be goal driven. So many kids today have no goals in life.

By the way that is one kicking setup! I trying to wait and see what Apple does with the Mac Mini before I decide rather to upgrade it or go with a iMac. That iMac is so darn sweet though! I just already have two really sweet monitors, so I could live with a nicely upgraded Mac Mini. I doubt though it will have nearly the specs of the iMac.

DAB,

Me and the daughter have been configuring her new machine that came with 10.6.8. I think I read some place where she will get Lion for free. She used Boot Camp to set it up 60/40 Mac. We also put in 16 gig of Crucial RAM (something about about needing it for her advanced computer science classes, so she said ).

Let me know how the Mini Mac works out for you as i am thinking about getting one to replace an old and failing Dell XPS as a home server. Nobody uses it anymore as everyone has a laptop.

 

[DAB]

Rich, I will keep you posted on the Mac Mini.

You will be eligible for a free LION download upgrade once it is released in July.

I upgraded to 10.6.8 and apparently the printer driver for my Brother MFC440CN has been replaced, I now have fewer options when printing.
