That is great!
I wonder when Snow Leopard will be coming to us?

Mid-year is what I've heard. I would expect to see an update at the WWDC, June 9.

The salesman at our Mac store said to wait for iLife before I got the new Mac.
But now, seeing that its that close, perhaps if my old one hangs in there, I should wait for the new OS?

Depends on how long you want to wait, Jane! Also, there should be new iMacs along some time soon...the typical cycle is about 8-11 months and the last ones came out in April 2008. Unless they go much longer between new models than usual, they'll come out before Snow Leopard.

Since iLife comes with an iMac, I wouldn't buy it for your machine now - but if you want to load it on your husband's and are planning on bestowing this iMac (if it's still working!) on a family member, then that's another consideration.

That is a good idea, I dont use too much of the iLife things all the time.
And my refurb is working OK right now, so to wait is a good idea.
Though I have the 'wants' at the moment, and I dont 'need' yet.
There are so many Macs in this family, that there isnt anybody who needs one at the moment.
I could ask at the school if there was a family who might need one. Thats where I donated the old ones to.
