"I want to go to there."

On Friday night my computer died. Its demise came not with a spectacular hard drive crash or calamity (water! fire!), but rather a pop as it spontaneously switched off for good and went to the great desktop in the sky. However the Mac support people assure me it can be resurrected by installing a new battery for $200, which I will do except that I used this opportunity as an excuse to buy a new computer -- a refurbished 24 inch iMac. Behold.



Shiny! Although Ms. K is not impressed that all of our big ticket items have decided to die all at once.

Not sure if you can see the green glow from tehre but ... I'M JEALOUS!!

If you don't mind, how much would a refurbished one cost?

You can usually get $200-300 dollars off the retail price. An iMac with a less powerful processor seems to be running about $1,000.

I hope you recycled the old computer. I think Apple accepts them.
