I am in the midst of selling my very first iMac - the same Bondi Blue Rev B. I have been procrastinating on doing this for ages now. It sits beside me on the floor and I just hate to sell it but I need the money and I have only used it a couple of times since February when I bought this new Indigo 500 mhz iMac. In reference to the subject at hand, I was told recently that my new iMac was far below industry standards. However, it is the perfect machine for me. I bought it because I *wanted* to run OS X and I also wanted to be able to burn back up CD's and have a bigger hard drive. It made more sense to buy a new mac instead of upgrading the Rev B. The great thing about Macs is that you really don't have to upgrade anything unless you want to. I know of many people who are just fine with their Rev B's or older Macs and have no intentions or desire to change. I am not sure who started this thread...I just wanted to say that I am quite happily upgrading as I feel I want to and not because Apple is "dragging" me into the future or forcing me to upgrade.
