I must say, I've been waiting for a way to get a mac that can run final cut and motion w/o having to spend my savings, and this is it.

I don't really care what it looks like or how it performs, but I know I'll be able to run the software I need on it, and it's affordable. congrats apple for getting my business.

Who would want one.... I mean, overpriced, made by one small company, non upgradable, and waht would be the point if it has some crappy 32MB  graphics in it? Rather just get a cheap PC.

Nice Statement except,

a.) It's definitely not overpriced

b.) Apple is not a small company

c.) It's not meant to be a Gaming machine, hell, I haven't seen a sub-500 dollar gaming PC ever. If anything I praise Apple for using AGP graphics, it's much better than some pathetic attempt by Intel with their "extreme" graphics architecture.

i not really sure. Even after I have looked at it, and read all the press, I still have not made up imind.

As soon as the hoopla dies down. I will see if I can work one into ibudget.

I will still need to get an imonitor and a ikeyboard and a imouse.

I will probably start to feel like i'm part of the apple family.

If it works out long term I will get the igirlfriend a new icomputer too.

In case you dont already know, the new imini comes with:

In the Box

- Mac !mini

- Mac OS X, iLife ?05 and more

- iDVI to iVGA adapter

- iPower cable

- iElectronic documentation.

So, "i" don't know. But me does. Yes

Hell yeah, I'll be getting one! :)

That's one of the sexiest computers I've ever seen. And it's really inexpensive considering it's a Mac.

I've been a hardcore PC user for 10+ years (and at the time considered Macs inferior) but since I've bought my first Mac a few months ago I just don't feel like using my PC anymore.

I won't be but my dad will. He's so ****ed at his Dell that he bought last year. It's a 2400 or whatever the $500 one is.

I always hear him say things like I'm getting a Mac.

I told him about this one and he should get it. It would keep all my little bros. off because they wouldn't be able to install any of their "games" lol.

Nope, not gonna get it. I would want better machine than that if I was buying a Mac.

40GB HD. haha. What is this 1995?

80GB HD, meh.. thats so 1999.

I think the HD's should be bigger atleast.

Currently I couldn't justify grabbing a g5 as for its lack of games although it is still an amazing machine. I will definitely be grabbing one of these to learn the OS and appreciate the beauty of its GUI that is lightyears ahead of Microsoftsf.

Looks at Dell, HP & others ... they have 40GB HDDs in their starting PCs too. So Apple's spec is on par with other manufacturers. You wont buy it even if it was 160GB, quit whining. :whistle:

wahaha, next day shipping!

I already found a buyer for my G4 Quicksilver Tower and will be picking up a 1.42GHz model on Payday. :)

    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
