Apple's Mac mini is the little Mac that could, 15 years later
Just upgraded the RAM in a lower end G4 Mac Mini a couple of days ago. A customer gave it to me and after I reformatted the drive and reinstalled Mac OS 10.4 onto it I’m using it to covert VHS tapes and reel to reel tapes to a digital format. Much more useful than the 2015 MacBook I have!

Apple's Mac refresh includes universal drop in SSD upgrade prices
I just bought 10 of them in the past couple of months for a client. Ouch!imat said:Just bought an iMac with SSD. Can I get a refund of the price difference (bought a week ago)?
it’s a serious question. I know you can send it back if a new model comes out in two weeks after purchase. I wonder if it applies also to price reductions. -

Apple finally kills vestigial Dashboard in macOS Catalina
The only thing I really ever used it for was SlothCam. I found all sorts of cams from around the world and opened multiple windows showing Tokyo, the Giza Pyramids, etc... It was fun to see all those places live at the same time.
Of course I still pine away for SeeUSeeMe and the guy who pointed his camera out his window towards the NY Thruway back in the mid 90s. Nothing like the 8-bit greyscale rendition of headlights at night!
It was all fun but I don't miss it and routinely turn off Dashboard for people. -
What to expect at the 2019 WWDC from iOS 13 and watchOS 6
Not if they fill it with crap like new emoji or endless drivel about Music. I’ve had enough “buttery smooth” blather to last a lifetime.iOS_Guy80 said:The WWDC Keynote is the best 2 hours of the year if you are an Apple geek.
