So do I. I hated having to part with my venerable Bondi Blue Rev B, but the size of the hard drive was choking me, especially with no removable media. So a flat panel iMac seemed like the ideal successor. The hard drive is a lot bigger to begin with, and even if the day should come when the hard drive starts getting full, I can always dump the biggest stuff off onto CD-RWs and delete it off the drive, so unless CD-RWs become obsolete and unavailable (as happened to 5 1/4" floppies in the mid 1990s), I think I'll be using this machine for many many years to come. :) However, because of my emotional detatchment to my Rev B, although I HAD to sell it, I managed to sell it to an old friend, so at least I know it has a good home and, when I'm up to Bedford to visit, I'll get to see it again from time to time. I feel like a pet owner who had to sell a litter of puppies... :) John A.
