I really need to do this

I was at the Apple Store yesterday looking at the nice, sleek iMacs. Wow! I really need to upgrade. And it seems from looking on Apple Support it's fairly easy to transfer my crap from the old computer to the new. And my current Firefox bookmarks too (I prefer Firefox over Safari).

The only thing is that in a few weeks a new iMac is coming out with a thinner screen without a DVD player? So??? Now what? Do I need to purchase another item to play my DVD's or burn some for the car? I think I will purchase the current model with the player included. Easier on desk space.

I really do love the new iMac models, but it does suck that they come without a DVD player. I hate that these companies are forcing us to get rid of physical media. I have no interest in purchasing only digital copies of movies or books, etc. I still like my hard copies. Even having only digital copies of photos scares me. Where will all the memories be years from now? It's sad.

Well said and totally agree
