Good point about the refresh, btw. I was planning on giving it a month or so. There's a rumored iMac refresh coming in the next month, although I'm thinking it might not happen until Lion releases in the Summer.
An equally good point on Apple not releasing a new hardware refresh until Lion gets released. Since The Mini currently has a server model and it looks like Lion will make the server model redundant since it has the server software built in, it will be interesting to see what becomes of the Mini server. Was thinking it would be nice if Apple came out with a lighter version of the current mini to use as a HTPC. Maybe they could call it their ATV Pro or something.

Is it true that Lion does not have Front Row anymore? Will they go with a newer version of iTunes or something to be their new media player if Front Row isn't added by release?
