Having just suffered the death of a perfectly usable late-2006 iMac, I am all in favor of killing the line. If Apple truly prides itself on being a green manufacturer, then it should promote the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Reduce the amount of waste by separating monitor and computer, reuse the monitor when you upgrade your CPU.

I have a perfectly good, high quality 20" S-IPS panel that can no longer be used. I could sell the stripped down panel second-hand I guess, but it would have been much easier had a I just purchased a mini and a separate monitor.

The next mini will likely rely solely on Intel's integrated graphics. I'd rather have something between that and the Mac Pro that isn't the iMac, but we all know that won't happen.
