Same, they must still be having trouble with the site. I'll upload a screenshot when I figure out how to get it on here from my iPad :/
I can't believe they went down so they could add a thermostat for your house!! Dumbest thing I have heard of and stupid expensive! I think I can buy a Honeywell unit that does pretty much the same thing for half the price.
I'm about 2 weeks from building a PC. If we don't hear anything in the first half of June I'm out.

Awesome. I'll have to have a play around but hopefully here is the screenshot.

It looks the same to me. The £999 model was always the base.
Yea it's back now. I'm guessing the site is still having a few hiccups, I grabbed a screenshot at the time (just above your post) but like you say, back up now so back to waiting... As if 6 months isn't long enough now.
I'd recommend you read the other 2,185 posts in this thread where we've already speculated about such things.
I've had that thermostat for a year now. The software is very impressive compared to other units around the same price and it looks better. The Honeywell unit may do the same things, but you can say the same thing about OSX and Linux. However, one you are willing to pay good money for and the other you likely don't use despite it being free because it's a pain.
You can set a range for the whole year rather than setting up heat and collins schedules, and it learns your schedule if you just choose to set it instead of program it. It also uses the fan to continue pushing heat or cold after the unit is shut down so it uses less energy. You can print out and compare usage reports month to month or year to year, adjusted for local weather changes.

Im not that up to date with the imac at the moment, so if you could direct me to the relevant threads would be much appreciated.
I can't wait all summer
Well... I'll give it to June 15th. The problem is it makes no sense to pay the current prices for 2011 hardware, but it also makes no sense to keep my work on hold much longer. I have work that needs to get done on a Mac and at this rate I'm making 0 progress. My dilemma is that I don't need a high powered machine for mostly database work and the current machine would work great. We're just so close to the refresh it would be dumb. But I need to get this stuff finished. At least started anyway and I don't have a Mac. 2 more weeks and I'll have to buy something. Just the way it is. Come on Apple. June 11th make it happen.

You can still buy one now and return it in 2 weeks. I think. This way you'll get some work done and can still buy yourself a brand new iMac 2012 in a few weeks.
top of the line:
GPU radeon 7970m (~radeon 7850) or Nvidia 680m, 680m not released until summer.
CPU 3770(s)
CPU 3770(s)
I might have to do that. I'll give it till WWDC first to see if we hear anything. If nothing, that sounds like a pretty good plan.
Also, you could always take advantage of the 14 day return policy. I don't think it's affected by new versions being released (someone could probably verify that), and June 11 is less than 14 days away. If you buy now and return after WWDC (when you hopefully know new ones are released/going to be released soon), then you will lose $0.
