I am following this 24" iMac on Ebay. ClickyI know that in the States the machine cost $1999 at launch. Does anyone know what it cost in the UK? I am not looking to buy it but I am sort of keeping an eye on resale prices of iMacs.

Not a bad price at all for a machine that only has 3 megabytes of RAM! (8+)

EDIT - 233 Mhz processor! *laugh*

I've been looking in to this, and as far as I can tell, the 24" iMac was first introduced with a Core 2 Duo processor, so that eBay listing stating it had a Core Duo processor could well be wrong. In fact it is, the images of the listing prove this. With this in mind, the Intel C2D 24" iMac was introduced in the U.K. with a 2.16Ghz processor, costing £1,349. I haven't been able to find any prices for a 2.33Ghz iMac. Mark

It does illustrate how prices continue to fall and that iMacs do hold their price surprisingly well.

My first iMac had a 233Mhz processor. Pish and fie. My first personal Mac had a 66MHz processor. I thrashed that PowerMac 6100 to within an inch of its life and still sold it on to my old boss. Gawd knows what the first Mac I ever used had in it, but it was a 9in mono screen in a beige - sorry! - platinum box. SE30, I think. How did I ever manage to do full A4 layouts in QuarkXPress 1?!

The first Mac I used was an LCII. Nasty little thing, and I hated Macs for a long time because of them. I got more out of my 1MB floppy drive only Acorn Achimedes. How I did A4 spreads in Impression II staggers me, especially when I was only able to run a screen at 800x600 in 256 colours.

You were lucky, I used to dream of having a LCII. All I had was an abacus in the back of the coalshed. Call yourself hard done by? Hah!

The best we could do was to suck on a piece of damp Amstrad PCW 8256
