I was going to state the same thing. If memory serves and history holds, the Special Event will be announced in a couple days and will be held at 10am PST next Tuesday.
yeah, its far to useful to have all previous mag-safes work with current computers. Its about time apple changes the shape of the input just a little so they won't anymore.

Very Interesting?
No optical?!?! Well I did read somewhere (maybe here?) that someone was floating a crazy rumor that Apple was going to release a mini with OS X SERVER preinstalled.
Odd but who knows... sure seems like an odd matchup but no more so then a Mac mini with NO optical drive. /shrug
which appear to include new Mac minis (one with two hard drives and no optical drive)
MAC MINI 2.53/2x2GB/1TB/NO ODD/AP-BT-USA
Interesting. Its a 2.53GHz, with 2 2GB sticks of RAM, a 1TB hard drive, no optical drive, Airport and Bluetooth. So is that a 3.5" hard drive taking the space of the usual 2.5" and optical drive, or 2 2.5" 500GB drives with the second drive in place of the optical? It did say somewhere about the possibility of a Mac Mini being sold with OS X Server, maybe its this with no optical drive?

I would guess 2 x 2.5 drives because a 3.5 drive is just too long to put in there. Plus the put out a lot of heat and the drive cages would have to be seriously redesigned.
Sure you can! However I can't guarantee you will sleep in the same bed that night. Where's my new and improved mouse? That's all I care about. I have a great 17" Santa Rosa MacBook Pro for over 2 years and it will continue to serve me well for the time being.
No offense but I really don't like the 16:9 ratios. I have an Averatec PC with it and while it's growing on me, I'm still on the other side of the fence. That is the trend to "fill the screen" when watching a movie, but I never minded the black strips.

You get more info displayed via anamorphic 16:9 than letterbox off a DVD provided it's encoded with it.

Most likely two 500 GB HDDs.
It will be interesting to see what Apple's solution is for loading software. I doubt you'd want to use the SD card slot on an inkjet printer or something like that.

No Optical Disk Drive. Same case, no biggie Mini.
Apple Online Store currently down for updates!
Down for over an hour now. I wonder if they are winging the code now...
K84-Keyboard with 84 keys?
Best - well its apple?
BTR=BlueTooth Remote?
So maybe its an updated slim keyboard

Can't argue with the wife

16:9 ratio + no blu-ray = worthless

No- they're just jerking your chain.
