Thanks you guys! The iMacs have definitely come a long way since I had my Lime 233mhz iMac back in highschool. Do either of you have the solid state drive? I hear they can make a big difference, but not sure I would want to pay the $450 extra Apple asks for.
Will probably wait until Summer to see if the iMac gets a refresh and go from there. Guess I will keep unplugging the monitor from power after use
