It's the US - they love when measurements are illogical, non-chronological time stamps and they hate the metric system (which is based on math and not bodyparts).
Here in the US how we do it makes sense to me but backwards to everyone else. Metric system too
I am a F...king Sweed we whrite the other way but yes i mean 5/8 or 5/16!!

Thanks for the back up Guys!!
What do you guys do if you only want to refer to the month and year?
Like for example I buy a car on 5/3/2012 but 10 years from now I only remember May 2012 so I type 5/2012.
You are. And it drives us Brits crazy when we have to state date of birth on a US website. So if DoB is 10 august like me... So is that 8/10/67 or is it 10/8/67 ????? The latter
Anyone have any theory/hunch of the specs/components of the high end 21.5 model? Seen mostly talk about the 27 one.
That's what's known as the Universal date format and it's non country specific AFAIK
442? Sounds like your getting mixed up with football! You know the sport where there's 23 on the field including the ref and the object of the game is to kick the BALL with one's FOOT into the back of he opposing team's net.

4 for 2 is a possible score in cricket. It's not very good for the batting team, but certainly possible.
Beg pardon? Take the square root of both sides, then multiply by zero. Touchdown!
Waiting for the new iMac . . .

In America, a 442 is an Oldsmobile. But I'm willing to bet that most of those who know that aren't spending their time reading about computers.

What a silly generalisation.
If i remember correctly apple has not let shipping times slip long before a refresh
This next week or the one after

Dell with Ivy Bridge, AMD Radeon 7000, USB 3.0
Dell began rolling out 3rd gen Intel i7 (Ivy Bridge) PCs earlier this week. Now I noticed it even features the latest AMD radeon 7000 graphics cards. The new XPS 8500 features i7 3770 processor and AMD Radeon HD 7770 2GB GDDR5, plus USB 3.0.
Apple must meet even these standards pretty soon and IMO, the USB ports currently on the iMac should all be 3.0 for diverse connectivity. i would definitely like to see a screen size boost, that would be magnificent given Apple has a good reputation with displays. Apple is pretty mysterious about these things. Can't wait for these macs to come out.

Every Dell order with above mentioned specs has ship dates of May 22nd or later. As said earlier in this thread, Apple will announce / release when they can pretty much do both on or around the same time.
So it seems RIGHT NOW - even if Apple were to announce something, there's about a 3-4 week wait before you'd ever see it.
So logic (I know, new scary concept) would suggest Apple to just announce their products when they can actually deliver them.
Just because the parts are 'theoretically' available for the perfect system, doesn't mean they actually are!
SSDs
Dear all,
You guys think the price of SSDs will drop in the next iMac? £400 for the 256GB was a bit steep I always thought.
