Correction, all 3 sreens are 16:10 widescreen

All widescreen 

Er,all the current iMacs already have widescreen - specifically 16:10 aspect ratio - displays. See

My iMac update wish 

I've just been looking at the intel iMac I have in my QA test pool, and it occurs to me that it is still a fantastic ergonomic design until, that is, you need to reach around the back to find a free USB or FireWire socket.

My update wish would be for the whole socketed area at the back to pop-out in a single block with a short multicore cable so that I can leave it next to the keyboard if need be. That would be real progress!
