    oooh, I was right, yeah!

    Ok. I just remember our talking about the $1,049 price when it first came out.

    If all Apple is going to do is drop an Intel C2D in the Mac Mini, I'll continue to be disappointed in the offering. An 80GB hard drive? That's a slap in the face by Apple, and they know it. The integrated graphics doesn't impress me either. I played around with one using a 23" Apple display and wasn't impressed at all by the quality. Whatever you do, don't have several widgets going at the same time.



    The Mac Mini would have been a great computer to have when Steve introduced the Cube, but these days, I quite simply can't take it seriously. It's time that Apple engineers get us a Mac Mini with some muscle, rather than being a slouch.

    It's supposed to be a slouch, it's the value system.

    Yes, yes, and yes. [Insert cries for expandable mid-tower NOT all-in-one (ie. no display) Mac Midi with PCIExpress slots, FW800, a thousand USB2.0 ports, SLI, user-changeable drop-in CPUs etc...] In otherwords, possibly a PC of many different components that runs OSX86 10.4.x and soon OSX8610.5.x .... [insert arguments here on why it will never happen, etc...]
