"If they continue to consider support the Mac Mini that is"

I hope they do, that little fellow has quite grown on me.

Looking forward to this today! Will either be listening to one of the audio streams (which i'm sure will get hosed before they even get going) or reading the updates on MacRumors! Can't wait to hear (and SEE!) Leopard!

I hope they do, that little fellow has quite grown on me.

I think people have been paying too much attention to the speculation that the mini is going to be discontinued. The only systems that Apple is dropping support for in Leopard are the G3's.

Good, some maturity from Apple is welcome. But, honestly, I think they shut up for a short while after Leopard was delayed itself.

I agree it's nice to see Apple focus on their own work rather than making comments about what others are doing, but seeing as Apple designed Tiger to be their "Vista beater", I don't really think that the Leopard delay is so relevant...

I'm very eager to see what Apple has in store for my next OS though. There isn't an awful lot I'd change in Tiger, and from what I've seen from Leopard alphas, most of that seems to have already been changed. Simpler/more powerful support for Windows shares was high on my wish list as I live in a flat that has 7 Windows machines and only 2 Macs on the network. I've seen a couple of screenshots of Leopard with a Sharepoints-esque dialog box for creating shares, and I'm really hoping that I won't have to individually mount shared folders to access them in Leopard.

I think people have been paying too much attention to the speculation that the mini is going to be discontinued. The only systems that Apple is dropping support for in Leopard are the G3's.

Well, I hope so as that will certainly be helpful. A friend of mine who just recently lost his notebook is looking to pick up a Mini but is afraid that it might be outdated pretty much soon, he doesn't want to rush into his purchase. Considering we all use Maya, LightWave 3D 8.0, Adobe CS3 and all that, our machines have to be powerful.

I am hoping they upgrade Mac Mini's, they are the cheapest Macs in India and yes! the high end mac mini costs about 1000$

so u can well imagine how expensive Macs are in India

The Mac Mini here is about RM3299 but I got mine for RM2999. The Macbook Pro is about RM8000 or so and for that price and I could get two good notebooks or three good desktops! Wish they were a bit cheaper and that there are student rebates :cry: :angry: .

    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
