As if a postgrad student would have so much spare time. I only wish I had that

I am a 68030. I hope that doesn't mean lots of waste of time...
I also have a 2009 I7 iMac and I changed my mind on buying the new Retina iMac. My 5 year old iMac is still fast enough, even for video editing.
In 2004 we had slow G5's with 20" screens. The 2009 27" iMacs were dramatically better. But 5 years later, in 2014, I just don't see as much of a difference.
Seriously? You are actually defending a minuscule three years by pointing frantically at the number of postings you've made? You've got to be kidding.
In my book 2004 > 2011 no matter how you slice it, dice it, or thrice it... respect your elders and let's move on...

Seriously, you'd resurrect this old thread? "If you are a MacRumors newbie, chances are I will disregard your post." is not even in his sig anymore, and I do agree he was smart to remove it as it was a stupid statement.
BTW, rankings are dedication, rather than when you just happened to join
I had a 2009 iMac that crapped out so I was forced to decide this very thing last fall. I decided to go for the Retina screen because I could afford it and I thought it was simply amazing, which it absolutely is! I have no legitimate need for it, just do a little light photo editing and other typical stuff (actually mostly spreadsheets), but it's just a joy to look at. I also went for the i7, which is probably overkill for what I do, but I wanted to go for the high end based on the assumption that I would also have this computer for 5+ years. I went with the 3GB fusion drive and it's a really noticeable improvement over the old 640GB drive in my 2009 - the computer starts up within 10 or 15 seconds. I just went with the 8GB of RAM and bought an extra 16GB from Amazon for $150, so now I have 24GB. All in all, I don't think I'd recommend going for the i7 and Retina screen if you feel it's stretching your budget, but I'm sure happy I did!

**** respecting elders, more posts means more help contributed. I couldn't give a rat's arse on how long have you been here, but if you've helped less (which almost always equals to posting less) you're just a dick who only sucks off help and not give back in return.
Nice thread resurrection by the way.
