  • Yea, you are right. But Apple would NEVER do it.
  • Good posts... l33r0y, makes a good argument... In fact, the iMacs are pretty easy to work inside of anyway (at least the previous models were). Loosen 3 screws, tilt the back to remove, and you're in. Very easy to add RAM or replace a HD (I've…
