Behold … the first post written on this Weblog from my new Mac mini. I rather suspect that it won’t be the last.
It’s really, really disconcerting to me how quiet this thing is; I’m quite used to how loud my old desktop was. I’m now thinking about how I can stick it in a closet somewhere to muffle the noise. Crazy, I know, but … there you go.
Anyhow, back to Software Update…
OI! Now I know how bad IJSM.org looks in Safari. :wince:
Try it with IE for the Mac. You might go into convulsions!
And here I thought we were friends, Jeff. 😉
So, tell us how you justified buying one of these things, Geof. 🙂 My opinion was that they were really cool, but I could never justify actually paying for one.
Well, for one, I bought a refurbished model, so I got a 1.42GHz/512MB/80GB machine for under $450. Also, I don’t need a high-horsepower Mac—I just wanted a barebones machine that would run OS X, interact with my miniDV camcorder, do some light DVD work, and run Delicious Library. That’s what I got.
If I get a higher-horsepower Mac desktop—a strong possibility in 18-24 months—I’ll move this downstairs and embed it into the bar, mounting an LCD on the wall next to the wet bar and putting a wireless keyboard and mouse with it. All the convenience of a laptop without the expense and wear-and-tear.
The mini was perfect for me, a switcher who doesn’t want to jump in with both feet. [I don’t see TBE going back to being a Mac house anytime soon.]
Now I’m curious what you think the site is supposed to look like because I think I’ve only really seen it in Safari….
:chuckle: If you’re really curious, you could pull it up in Firefox on the Mac and see.
