  • I'll start at the bottom of the stack: Power Slice - A conventional power supply with a built in battery (even one from a Powerbook!) that provides a conditioned, uninterruptible power source for the mini and a second output port for your Apple c…

  • Yep, I got a job as a "demo dolly" for Apple through Marketsource and my first assignment was to go to the Sear's store on Sunday and show people the wonders of the Macintosh platform. Only thing is, the tiny Apple section was wedged between the …

    in Mac mini misses its target consumer Comment by aphelion January 2005
  • I would like to submit that the target customers for the Mac mini are the owners of iPods. The Pod people if you will. Like the Unicorn, the four leaf clover, and the Pot-0-Gold; the "Halo Effect" Pod people were an unproven rumor, a mythical gr…

  • Well ... WOW! First off the supply of Mac minis will outstrip that supply rather quickly and we will see a scramble to up that production. The Shuffle will be a home run when, besides all of Asia, and countless teenagers disappointed by not ge…
    in Apple to manufacture 100,000 Mac minis a month, more... Comment by aphelion January 2005
  • Most glaring omission for me was a relatively inexpensive 17" Cinema display. Lifted from the big PB to better leverage price. Hopefully "Asteroid" will be Mac mini form and design factor device to be released at the NAB show as a terrific add on…

  • Quote: Originally posted by ZO nice Aphelion.. I like the "slice" name. Very fitting. Indeed, as soon as I saw the Mac Mini I already envisioned a port replicator "slice" with more usb, firewire, and maybe even a few more AV ports (RGB/S-video…

  • I was wondering what my post was doing here. Jambo asking for posts to be submitted for the "Temporary Insanity" and then not admitting them? miniMac: "And I shall call it... iServe!"
