KCMW--bingo. I can't imagine them letting the iMac go more than a *full year* without a refresh of some sort (especially since they seem so eager to get those new DisplayPorts standardized). Sinclap noted that the last update was April, so I have *got* to believe that a refresh will come between now and April.

SO, here's what I think my plan is:

1. Clean up/optimize the current system as much as possible
2. Back everything up, wipe the drive and do a clean install of *Leopard* instead of Tiger (I happen to have a standalone copy but haven't upgraded yet)
3. Hope that there's enough performance improvement from #1 & 2 to tide me over until a refresh comes out.

Who knows, they might even throw Snow Leopard into the refresh while they're at it, plus I'd get the free iLife 09 upgrade at the same time...

Yeah, that sounds like the way to go...
