It is a possible venue for announcement of new hardware.Drothgery has it right, with the release of the Core 2 Duo chips, it is highly likely that there will be anouncements shortly. So I would hold off on any purchases for now. Though I suspect it will be more like weeks until new iMacs are anounced than months. There's a decent chance the new machines will have an updated video system as well, since the old machines use ATI chips and ATI has been bought by AMD, Intel's rival. Ironically apparently ATI's chipset is the best out there for the Core 2 Chips and the only one for them that supports SLI (dual graphics cards). But SLI is a feature which is unlikely to show up in iMacs though for cost, power requirements and heat dissipation issues.<a href="http://www.macsurfer.com" target="_blank">www.macsurfer.com</a> is a good mac news summary web site. It has summaries and links to the important mac web sites and news. There will be links to any news or significant rumors. Take any rumors with a large grain of salt though. Apple has gotten to be better than the KGB at keeping secrets and pretty much the only rumors that have panned out in recent years are the ones that are essentially obvious and common sense (Like the iMacs getting Core 2 Duo upgrades).</blockquote>
