John N1JM,

You will enjoy using an iMac.  I have the 24-inch and it were to die
today I would buy another.  I have MacBook Pro but prefer using
the iMac for RTTY, PSK31 and other modes.

I use an old Keyspan USA-28A Serial/USB adapter to get frequency
and rig data to fldigi on the iMac with the SignaLink USB interface.

Be careful in buying a serial/usb adapter. I have heard some do not
work with Snow Leopard.  Be sure what you buy has OS X support.

I have Fusion but may remove it as I just don't use any Windows
based applications.
