Re: Fwd: Hi question about mac - mini

[Dean Hamstead <dean@bong.com.au>]

im not complaining. Mac mini seems to be aimed at just getting
macosx on peoples desktops. It doesnt ship with a keyboard, mouse
or monitor and they are making noise about how it will use your
existing peripherals.

they havent replaced their existing lines, just added a new one
to try and make money from a different nice market. ie, those of
us that cant afford g5's and usually buy old mac gear off ebay. ;)
