So I got my new iMac a couple of days ago. It’s pretty awesome.
The screen is much larger than I thought it’d be. I’ve seen the 20″ ones in stores, but rarely see the 24″ ones. You don’t really realize how big they are until you actually sit in front of it. It’s almost like a TV. So since it’s almost like one, I’ve installed Plex and the Hulu Desktop just for kicks.
I’ve started working on the layout for my portfolio, and the screen makes it easy enough to fit both the code and a preview.
My mom likes it because it’s nice, bright, and big. So she likes looking at photos and stuff on it. I think my parents want to steal it.
It runs great so far; it can handle stuff I’ve thrown at it so far. The speakers were better than my expectations (although I might get a nice set of external ones). The only issue I have so far is finding a place for it 
. The base is small, but it’s really wide. So its currently on a table instead of a desk.
In buying it, my parents wanted to get the free iPod and printer for themselves. We haven’t setup the printer yet, but it looks nice. My mom has fallen in love with the iPod. She’s been checking her e-mail, browsing the web, and a bunch of other stuff so far. I don’t think she’s going to share it with my dad…

From your description of your iMac, it does sound awesome. Remember to post a review a month or more from now.
Your parents sound so tech savvy.

I wish my parents were tech savvy, whenever they get something new, I give a 1-hr presentation on how to use it.
