My mum got a 21.5" unit to replace her dead iMac 4 and I think it's a lovely size. Screen is not too big but still gots lots of space to do stuff (email and Intertrons in her case).
She's got an iPad as well; the two complement each other very well.
@RR, why not get a Mac Pro and a couple of monitors instead of an iMac? the Mac Pro line are the only machines from Apple I genuinely desire (simply because of their nice build quality, upgradability, and ludicrous specs; I'll throw the OS out :P ) and at least with a Mac Pro a future upgrade path is available.
Plus multimonitor goodness.
/see, not always a zealot - I can be reasonable :P

....I've had the big Mac desktop system (now failed) and the 27" iMac has easily enough processing power. I've got a spare Apple Cinema 23" monitor I could hook up to it anyway. Plus we've also got a G5 Dual PowerMac plus MacBook Pro at the music studio and various portable LaCie hard drives for transporting files to and from studio><home. iMac is the way I want to go - I've given it a lot of thought and have owned other iMacs before.

....Yes, I was quite shocked to read this too :evilgrin:
@ cmdrfire: Your dad obviously has good taste! A man of style.

What's the difference between a Mac user and a terrorist? You can negotiate with terrorists! :jumpmove:

Fair enough, the new iMacs are really rather swish with their black surrounds and glass panelling (the new 24" LED Cinema display is like that as well - I'd wouldn't mind that in the middle of my two Samsungs).

....You're absolutely right! Having a Mac or not is totally non-negotiable!
