Oh dear! Had a response from PC World:

Dear David

Thank you for your email dated 22nd September 2008.

I can confirm that the original iMac had the older operating system and is now an end of line product and will not be stocked again. The model that is shown on our website costs £799.00 and has Leopard OS and this is current line.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us. Whilst it is always disappointing to hear from a dissatisfied customer, it is by receiving correspondence such as yours that we can effectively address customer care issues and improve our service.

Yours sincerely,

PC World Customer Services


Er, didn't the Alu iMacs get released with Leopard!?

Thought I would double-check before I reply back!!

To the previous poster, it's not there now (because the Sale has ended) but I don't believe this was being advertised as a clearance product (even though it clearly was due to the price!).

Alu Macs released pre-Leopard - I bought mine with Tiger.

To be fair, the iMac was shown on this page (along with the Airports) which IS clearance. Some did say "Sale" price next to them, some said reduced. The iMac said reduced I'm sure. Cant win them all :(
