The iMac is a whizzer and great to use. The 20" wide-screen format
is really useful; it has a 2.16 Core 2 Duo processor with 2Gb. I
have just scanned a 645 negative at 4800ppi, producing a 550Mb 16-bit
file. I doubt that my G4 would have handled that.
I have written to Apple asking for Aperture to have more than one
external editor selectable. Being able to rescan would be good, but
I have a feeling that it does that automatically if you have it
referencing files.
If you get a decent price on the 11-22 (e.g. less than GBP500) why
not let me know and perhaps we can order 2 and get a discount?
Another suggestion is that you could use an iMac as the processor for
a DVD/Surround system, Especially if you got the 24". It depends on
how big a screen you need for your lounge ...
