thanks for the invitation to your thread.

even though I've not booted a Mac in quite a while .. OS was SnowLep as I recall, I operate on the no fear basis

I'm a few years past 70 and bought my first box (TRS80 for $2800) a loooooong time ago and in the ensuing years built more than a hundred computers.

I'm intrigued by the low price point on the MacMini as I own all the extra stuff --- monitor, wireless mouse and keyboard, external dvd r/w, external hd, etc....

my good friend in the video recording room at our church is a confirmed Mac user ... I built a couple of Pentium computers for his son whilst he was in college as the Mac just wouldn't cut it in the bio chem dept where he obtained his Masters.... he is the one telling me about the $500 unit

My bud teaches Chem and Physics at the local college and his son is a Lt Col in USAF and each operate both a PC and a Mac .

.. actually he is kinda daring me to try a Mac and he knows I'm so cheap that the MacMini is the only hope that I'll buy one .....lol

just as a example of my nofear outlook .... I opened a granite sales and fabrication business in the past few months ... bought, cut up, polished edges and installed 3 full size slabs into our kitchen ..... got a number of requests to do theirs too as the price here is $45 sq ft UP and I just got through on a good friend's new house using 2 1/2 slabs (six sinks) finished out and installed for a tad over $20 ft sq.
