Thanks everyone for all the pointers. I'm looking at the 24" iMac desktop. It has quite a few extras on it that the Dell or HP doesn't have, but after adding some software, the 3yr. warranty, some one on one classes on how to use the iMac, the price is starting to get over $2,000. That's lots of $$$$$, but from what I am hearing, this is the way to go.
