I'm sure you are going to just love the new system responsiveness and
that great screen, Stan.
But I have one comment on your SSD choice: I think you made the wrong
decision there ...

The one that most appealed to me was the Mac Thunderbolt 27 display. As a
display it is said to be a good one (YMMV), plus it can serve as a hub for
external drives etc.

By not booting from and running the OS from an internal SSD you are
missing out on one of the most important performance boosts you would
have otherwise received.

Well, hell, if Stan's iMac can boot off external USB drives then he'll

assumed that newer ones would have a similar restriction like only
booting from Thunderbolt. There's usually some sort
Several weeks ago I asked for and received suggestions concerning my planned
computer upgrade.
I've made a decision, orders have been placed, I should have my new gear by

Good call, given the variables. Out might be my next Mac, although like you. I
would consider the freshness of the technology. My iMac 27 is currently in the

Stan,
Just one question/comment:
Why would you have an external SSD and internal HD?
While I don't have my own experience with Thunderbolt, all other
interfaces (USB 3.0, eSATA, FW-400, FW-800, and even FW-3200) are
inferior to SATA-3
(not counting SAS-600 which is nominally on par with SATA3)
