I'll think about it. Replacing the drive in this iMac is tough because it's one of the slim ones. I've heard it's really easy in the thicker models, but you have to split the screen from the adhesive holding it down, and then reapply it when you put the screen back. iFixit sells all the parts I might need, but at a certain point it gets to be a pretty expensive upgrade for "quite adequate" results. I think they'll probably just get a new iMac eventually.

Also, I get that Apple is good at moving onward and upward with their software, but are they really leaving a three year old OS behind so quickly? That seems almost irresponsible to me. I know I'm coming from the Windows world, where products are supported for forever, often to the detriment of the product its self, but still...
