    Very nice Rick!! That resolution has gotta look awesome. 27 inches eh? I have a 22 inch and I don't know if I could ever go much bigger. Maybe I could though, I guess it depends on how far you sit from it.

    Congrats man and have fun!

    Yeah, good point. I'm also getting a new desk which is essential for that reason. Looking forward to setting up my studio in my new home

    Wow so I'm checking it out, and you can run Windows on it? That's awesome. One of the things that's always put me off Macs a little is compatibility issues with certain software. But if it runs Windows, that'd probably eliminate those problems entirely. Have they always run Windows or is this a new thing?

    I may just have to consider a Mac next time I upgrade.

    Boot Camp, which facilitates running Windows under a separate partition, has been around officially for a few years now (introduced in Leopard I think?), although I think it existed unofficially beforehand. You can buy virtualisation software like Parallels Desktop if you want to run Windows/Linux apps side-by-side with Mac applications. The performance isn't as good this way though.

    It's been possible for some time now Sean.
    I was going to install windows on my iMac back in 2007 but decided not to. This time round I want to use this iMac internet free (if a can resist the temptation that is) and try to just use it for mainly music purposes.
