    "iMac with Retina display"

    What does this mean? Is Retina is a technical term that should convey some specific meaning now?

    The iMac Retina... no. Besides not wanting to spend that much now, I'd hold off on a first generation rig like that.

    Rig? Are you in the wrong forum? We are not talking about trucks here. Oh, wait, you want to try to make your gaming/facekbooking/drawing computer sound tough and industrial? Is that like how slashdotter like to call their tech jobs their "trade"? Sorry but the software industry is not a "trade". We are not blue collar but rather white collar and we do not earn a "wage" but rather a salary.
