Is it a good workhorse? I mostly browse/email, file pictures, etc. No complex graphics, no time for wargames anymore.
Would there be a problem connecting to other networks? (now using remote desktop to do medical records online). How about Quicken.

 

It'll work fine.

No.

Mac version available.

 

Thx
I'll probably run it in parallel with my old pc initially until all the files are migrated.

 

i've got a 2.4 that i use for my home desktop. it's been great for everything you mentioned including light photoshop and imovie tasks.

 

I love it !

 

Good. THis is a good machine. I love my iMac 24". Best machine on the market (for the dollar) by far.

 

How would you set up something like remote desktop on an iMac? I need to connect to my hospital's network.

 

How are you doing it now? Your IT folks are likely using some kind of client (Citrix, Cisco, etc.) You'll just need the Mac version. They should be able to configure it for you. If they have you doing an actual remote desktop session to a Windows box, OSX has a client for that too, literally called Remote Desktop Connection.
