I would be surprised if the Mini is updated this month, unless it is a silent update. If they are going to do anything significant with it then I think that they will wait till October to announce it.

How many movies are most people going to download at one time? You may get 4-5 movies when you go to Blockbuster but do you go out and buy 4-5 of them at a time? There will probably be a huge spike when it opens up then it will level off and finally…

If the 20" monitor moves down to the bottom spot, which is possible given the reduced price of 20" LCD's since the 20" iMac was introduced, then I will have a hard time resisting purchasing one. If the Mac Mini gets a decent boost and a Super Drive …
