mine gave me the estimated delivery of the 25th ... got mine the 23rd, and on the box that apple sent, it said the delivery date was the 23rd ...

My delivery is on its way from a to b to c to ... since almost a week. :(

Interesting fact is that on Apple's site it only says that the wireless keyboard is being shipped, where on the order details it states that everything ships as a whole when the order is complete (eg. Mac mini plus keyboard). I'm looking forward if I only get the keyboard next week without the mini, or if the tracking page is just plain wrong.

Did anyone else that ordered from Apple Online US/UK/Aus experience approx 1 week delay between receiving an "Acknowledgement" and a "Confirmation" email??:unsure::

Well, today I received the invoice for my bundle via snail mail and so I decided to check my online status and I found this...

...looks like I should get my lot of wireless keyb+mouse and mac in the first half of the coming week - just over 2 weeks from ordering:))

Finaly, I got my mini friday at 6pm... Had to get it from FedEx depot.

It's small, half the size of a Nintendo GameCube. Silent in operation except for the slot load DVD-R... Darn it's noisy when you insert a disc or eject! I've had no problem with fan noise, even after the update to 10.3.8 - iLife '05 was not installed, so I had to upgrade it with the included DVD. This step took about 15 mins.... Not that much.

I've moved everything from my PC to the mini, MP3, Photos, documents, .... And since then, i'm only working on the mini!!! My PC ain't bad (check sig), but I'm having a blast with OSX and iLife. I've been waiting a long time to have fun again with a computer. You get a nice GUI and a terminal to play with Unix!

The HDD on the mini could be faster, but it's not killing me. 512Mb is about right but mabe 1Gb would be even better. The CPU speed on the mini is enough for now. I've installed Photoshop CS and it's great! GIMP work well, Nvu is good for my simple HTML editing. The best is iLife, a very fine group of software! Nothing match this (built in) in Windows XP. Microsoft need Longhorn soon because XP looks old next to OSX. Expos?? Fun to use and it's realy helpfull!

The mini is running since i've installed it, 1 reboot because of the update to 10.3.8 and no crash. Smooth operation, running iTunes, FireFox and Entourage & MSN. :DD

I'm happy! Mabe my next major PC upgrade will be a G5! (or G6?)!

    • I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • This piece of ###### is probably one of the most hated apps that ever existed.
    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.
