I am in a market for a desktop for my home office. I am currently trying to make up my mind on what to get. iMac 27inch or mac-mini and 27inch cinema display. Basically more juice vs better display.
Thoughts.

bad timing, wait if jobs dies, then act accordingly.

I don't know of many offices using the mac-mini... it used to have a bad reputations years ago.
But doesn't seem like the display is a huge factor here... the 27" will do fine...On the other hand, the iMac is really reliable. Just update the RAM if you need.

Apple today issued a media advisory revealing that Steve Jobs has been granted a "medical leave of absence" from the company.

Personally I'd get a macbook and the monitor if at all possible. I have this and it's the best of both worlds. Decent machine, a comfortable desktop machine with good monitor and a laptop.

The nerds must all have been observing Martin Luther Kind day...
In that case I need to let you know that"you can get a faster, better, more upgradable or something like that, PC computer for a lot cheaper."

The iMac.
It's possible to use the newer models as a secondary display now too.
(for future use)

Aren't the 27" iMac and the cinema display screen similar in quality?

its funny tho, how much Steve is connected to this.. If Bill Gates died, i dont think Microsoft shares would skip a beat.
and you know its not all Steve's ideas ..
