[QUOTE="callmedory, post: 1046276, member: 387796"] Sounds like I'm in the right place for advice. The $4000-5000 was a combined price, for the computer, laptop, ipad--and software and accessories. We prefer "worst case scenario" estimates. If Hubby wants it and we can afford it without going into debt, fine by me. We're not rich, but careful, and decided it's time to enjoy life a bit--to the extent we can afford it, that is. Hubby wants the big monitor. He says his eyes are tired of small screens and he is otherwise kinda picky about image quality. He was looking at the 27" imac, but I'll bring up the mini-mac + large monitor. He wants to pair it with a laptop, and again, not the smallest one. I'm not sure how much we need that; our Dells are working okay right now. And he's looking at an ipad and/or ipod. We need to research the overlap of these, but he likes the idea of the ipad. I think again for his eyes. I'm nearsighted as anything, so small images don't usually bother me, but they do bother him. We want to play with this stuff--too many cds on the shelf we can't easily listen to, talk with Mom, edit photos. And we really liked apple's setup to do all of this. Much better than PC. I'll direct him to this website. Not like he has much time right now, but he'll be here sometime. Thanks again all! I'll keep reading. [/QUOTE]
