I would encourage you to go for a 17" FP iMac if you can afford it. For $1999 (ONLY $100 more than for a 15" FP iMac with 60gb), you get a 17" screen AND an 80gb hard drive. Plus the screen IS better IMHO. Finally, the new iMac makes for superb ergonomics. Your body will thank you. Good luck and enjoy your purchase! Donald
