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:bowing:
