Thanks! You are right, of course.

OK, I just got off the phone with a big Mac store in my area (not the Apple store, but a licensed third party or whatever you call them). The man there told me the only 24" iMacs he had in stock were custom built with wireless keyboard and wireless mouse for $1,849 (an extra $50). He offered to throw in 1GB RAM for free -- so that would be $1,850 for a 24" iMac (2.4GHz/320MB harddrive) with 2GB of RAM and a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. (EDIT: Plus I forgot -- a $100 rebate, so it's actually $1,750.)

Sound good?

I've never had a wireless keyboard or mouse -- should the wirelessness matter to me one way or the other? I have no idea if the functionality is the same or better/worse.

I told him I'd call him tomorrow (Tuesday) if I wanted it.

I don't know if I can wait a whole month for Leopard.
