is iWork really worth it though? I mean no "Cells", just keynote and word...for 80? 70 dollars more for entourage and excel (student version of office)

also catch: iWork can only be installed via DVD drive. This might mean new things to come

wth is that going to mean lol

if "cells" was there i wouldnt be whining but its not lol.

[Makeshift Hammer]

I just clicked a link and landed here.........life is... :D

[BroChaos Veteran]

he is kinda right though. if anybody else released a product that only had one function, and didn't even have an lcd, it would be laughed at. apple can put a spin on things that no other company is capable of.

[threetonesun]

Hey, if you plug a mouse and keyboard into the mini ... aren't all the USB ports gone :wacko:

Nice little concept, but that hurts it's use as much of a home box without a hub.

[sundayx Veteran]

imo ipod shuffle is really, useless sorry guys. i wouldnt go for it, no screen mp3 player? even creative moved away from that.

but when i saw the pictures of mac mini, i laughed so loud, cause i was so surprised how they fit a mac into that thing, i mean, wow. incredible. sleek, amazingly small, and powerful. i might look forward to getting one when tiger comes with it. well, thats in prob 6 months time. DAMN MAC MINI I LOVE IT

and whens the keynote gona be available for stream/download?

the mouse goes into one of two of the keyboard's USB ports. After you plug both up, you still have two USB ports to work with.

Any other company would be flamed, yelled at, blamed of all disasters on the planet. But Holy Apple can release anything, the just add "i" before the name of the product and blind masses will buy it. :D :rofl: :yes:

[titan0111]

Arg...no PowerBook updates...yet...

[astronomyluna]

does anyone know if the iDVD will work with external dvd drives? it makes sense for the mac mini for this to be finally implemented.

[DrZoidberg]

But why do you need a screen? I always use the "shuffle" on my iPod mini, hardly ever look at the screen except to check battery levels.

Assuming you have an Apple keyboard. The Logitech they show in the picture still requires 2 USB ports.

No. Apple keyboards have two USB ports on the backside of the keyboard, you plug the moust into the keyboard. Also if you've a Cinema Display too, you'll have FireWire and USB2.0 ports on the display as well. :)

[threetonesun]

585274655[/snapback]

That's what I just said! :laugh:

But a USB hub will be the same size as the mini!
