[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1258427"] The iMacs were refreshed last month, so now is an ideal time to buy a new iMac. I would not expect a *significant* change in iMacs now for quite some time. You may wish to wait until Lion is out to save yourself $30/give yourself a little more time to save, but other than that there's no reason not to buy now. If you use Excel and Word a lot, I'd recommend buying Microsoft Office for Mac for maximum compatibility. The OpenOffice suggestion is good too, but be prepared for some changes -- it's close but it's not quite the same thing (should be very compatible however). You do not need any anti-virus or anti-malware or firewall software on your computer. Apple is already providing the anti-malware (though of course common sense helps), there aren't any viruses, and your router or modem already has a far superior hardware firewall. [/QUOTE]
