I have been hearing grumblings from the family. They have been sharing my old Blueberry iMac for years. It appears that it may be a little bit slow and the 6 GB hard drive might be a little too small for the 21st century. So, I have been looking to buy a new iMac. I'm actually getting a decent tax refund, so I can afford to buy a new iMac now, but ... rumors are swirling that Leopard may be coming out in late March. Should I wait until Leopard comes out, so I don't have to pay extra to upgrade? On the other hand, is there really anything I need in Leopard that I should wait for? We don't do a lot of sophisticated computing at home. If I do wait, how much longer might it be until the next new and improved iMacs come out? Should I just wait for those? I could probably play the waiting game forever and I would end up never buying anything.

Always a tough call when to buy. As soon as you buy, you will find some reason to make you wish that you waited. The longer you wait, the more you wish you had just gone ahead and bought earlier. Circuits overloading! Can't handle the pressure! I'll just do what I'm best at. Procrastinate and decide later.
