Hi Well this is what happens when an old guy has more time than brains or money, I have been looking at the 21.5 imac which can be had for almost the same amount as the mini and all the stuff you have to buy extra. (all comes with the imac) and the other benefit is I can leave the monitor I have with the antique pc. i think someone actually hinted this but being somewhat dense I missed it till now. The more I look at it the more I like it. I don't need large amounts of storage I have 2 350 gig hdds now and it will be awhile before I will need more. (1 internal and 1 external) yes I know I am a light weight but I am somewhat careful what I keep, 500gigs will be just fine for some time and maybe by then the solid state drives will be reasonably priced. The fact that I am retired and on a very limited income I must make the right choice, corrections are not an option. The only addition to the package would be 8gigs of ram later. One more time thanks for all the super advice  Next weekend is the start of the flying season for the summer air shows and fly days wooooooooooo hoooooooooo !!!!! the best time of the year.:popcorn: Ed  If one p51 mustang is music, 3 or 4 is an symphony!!!!!!! sweet Rolls Merlin sounds3:)

Ed, I am sure a 21.5" iMac will be fine, they are quick enough and the LED screens are very nice. Don't forget the MTP... I wouldn't be without mine now.

Robert thanks I haven't forgotten the mtp, I have a small cash stash for that and the ram. after that I will be tapped out. I am hoping to sell some of my work this summer and recoup some of it. when the apple falls out of the tree I will let you know. I am quite sure I will have some more questions. Ed

Any time Ed, just ask, I will do my best to answer, Doug and Jk and others, are well versed in Mac too. Users who have become accustomed to PC's sometimes find it hard to acclimatise to the ease of use of the Mac, looking for familiar methods which don't even exist in the Mac. Sometimes I feel the Mac OS is becoming too easy and simplified for the same reason but overall I get the job done with the tools Apple provides. I't just getting the hang of the new way. Apple have a section to help migrating users find the equivalent methods. http://www.apple.com/uk/why-mac/faq/ There will no doubt be a US version. http://www.apple.com/why-mac/faq/

With the exception of iOS devices (8 of which are in the family) I always favour the entry level replaced often With the bleeding edge Software and websites need to be optimised R&D costs need to be recovered In one year from now this will all be done and the Retina Display will be available across the range (and if it isn't I can stick with what I've got or buy something on runout)
