You know about MacOfAllTrades, I assume? I've never bought anything from them, but I've been tempted a few times. I don't know how good their prices are when selling stuff to them.

On the glossy screen, I haven't tried it myself, but there are places that sell "screen protector" films for iMacs. If that was the only thing holding you back, it might be worth the $30 or so. I did fairly well putting one on our iPad, but had a terrible time with a much smaller film on a recent smart-phone for my mom, so it's hit-or-miss even if you get a high quality plastic. Steve doesn't seem to be changing his mind about rarely offering non-glossy screens any time soon. :-(
FWIW. :-)
Cheers,
Scott.
