Hi, everyone:
I will be selling my PC sometime this week, and after I get the payment in hand, I am going to go buy an iMac (long-time DOS/Windows user here).
What I'm looking for at this point is feedback as to what I should do. Here goes:
1. The model I'm looking at now is the 20" iMac 2.66 GHz one with 2 GB of RAM. Good choice, long-term, for general computing needs? How long do you feel that this model's relevance would last?
2. Would it be safe to buy a refurbished iMac online from Apple? Are refurbished iMacs as durable or reliable as newly made iMacs are?
3. There is a major local electronics store near where I live. They offer a "Bill-Me-Later" option with no interest for 6 months. Of course, I plan on finishing off payments before the 6 month period expires. I also know about the Juniper card being offered by Apple, but I dread the thought of having a second credit card. What is the best way to purchase and/or finance iMacs?
Thanks to all in advance.
