I am envious of your ability to time the gold market. I was better at it once, but I lost my mojo and am simply staying put, buying a bit here and there as it becomes more of a bargain. I think 3600 sq ft is probably ideal for a family of 4. You will need the extra space as the kiddos grow and require more free space of their own. We - 3 of us, one a small child - were uncomfortable in 4000 sq ft, and sold 7 years ago. The 'new' place now needs a lot of work which I hope Mr. Au will fund.

For all you Apple fans that seem to be out there, this announcement actually sounds exciting and $$. Apple Inc. unveiled the latest update to its line of desktop computers Tuesday, promising faster speeds and offering the option of multi-touch controls similar to those used on the iPhone. Apple said its new line of iMac desktops, with new processors from Intel Corp. and new graphics chips, are the company's fastest ever. The iMacs, which tuck the inner workings of the computer behind the flat-screen monitor, cost $1,299 to $2,099 based on speed and screen size. Windows computer makers such as Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. have turned their similar all-in-one desktop computers into touch-screen media centers where families can, for example, browse through photos and play music. Apple, however, has maintained that while touch screens work well on the iPhone and the iPad, they don't make sense on a Mac. Its MacBook laptops have track pads that respond to the two-finger pinch and pull controls of the iPhone. Now, Mac buyers can also pay an extra $69 for what Apple calls the Magic Trackpad, a sleek glass-topped aluminum touch pad that connects to Apple computers using Bluetooth. The device works with all of Apple's computers and runs on two AA batteries. Apple also released a new line of Mac Pro desktops, which resemble a traditional boxy PC and require a separate monitor. Like the new iMacs, Apple says the latest Pro computers carry faster processors as well as new graphics chips that produce a sharper display. The company released a new stand-alone 27-inch LED screen for $999, which can be hooked up to a laptop or desktop. It says the display is 60 percent bigger than Apple's 24-inch LED display.
