You have always been one of the nicer militant apple guys.

Probably because I'm a long-time PC user who relatively recently switched to Mac for my personal use, plus I still use Windows a lot in work. Still, 99.9% of my frustration comes from the PCs, and even did when I was a Mac newbie. It was easier to learn OS X than to keep dealing with Windows (which I've been using since the version 2).

Basically, there has to be an immediate or potential monetary return for me to deal with a PC anymore, unless a family member is begging me for help and I'm in a generous mood.

Otherwise I'm sticking with my Mac. The platform won me over on its merits with quality and attention to detail.

And my PC has won me over on its merits with quality and attention to detail. It's even better that I got to choose everything and put it all together into a package to be proud of. Win 7 is rock solid on this rig, and the whole thing just works (fast). When Apple gives me the options to do what I can do now in a package that doesn't look all fisher pricey I'd consider it, except that there are certain people around with atittudes that would drive me away from making that consideration. You'll never find a tattoo of an Apple or any brand on my forehead.

To hit on the cooling subject again, it looks like the iMac's heat could be causing the screens to turn yellow, adding to the problems of flickering and blacking out screens. I think there is going to be a quiet recall. There's lots of video on YouTube now of the problems.
