[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1472254, member: 56379"] This is a bit of an unusual situation (longer delay than usual)...meaning usually if Apple announces new products...there's usually only a short delay between the announcements & availability. Usually (in 90%+ of the situations)...availability of the new models is the very same day as the announcements. As already mentioned...the new iMac models (that were announced back in October I believe)...are not yet available in the United States or Canada either. This info has actually been known since the new models were announced...so it really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that has done their research.;) As far as being upset that there are no old iMac models available either. Well...I REALLY don't think many people would want to buy an old model iMac...if they knew that new models would be out very soon. And no...if Apple were still selling the old models...they would not be discounted (Apple doesn't do this with brand new computers...only refurbished units). I think that you're going a bit overboard here. Since you are new to Apple computers...you should really find out if the current situation is "normal" before "FREAKING OUT"!;) And yes there are computer alternatives out there...but they aren't Apple computers running the Mac OS. If you want a brand new Apple computer running the Mac OS...then you MUST buy an Apple computer!!!:) Now you do know...that if you REALLY gotta have an iMac computer ASAP...and you have €3000 to spend...you could always buy a used computer!!!;) But if you want a brand new Apple iMac computer...then you're just going to have to wait like everyone else!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
