Mini temptation
This is one of the new Mac Minis on the Apple line up.
The problem is that I am sorely tempted to buy it - even though I have a perfectly good laptop. Why? Well, first of all it’s a Mac - well, that’s not exactly a reason. But who cares - human beings are illogical creatures.
For those not in the know, here are the feature specs :
1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor
2MB L2 Cache
667MHz Frontside Bus
512MB memory (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
80GB Serial ATA hard drive
Double-layer SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0
Apple Remote
All this for the great price of $799. Factor in a RAM upgrade to 1 Gb ($100) , mouse + keyboard for $30 and a 19 inch monitor (Viewsonic $245) and you have a great system for all of $1175 (plus tax, less student discount). Amazing!
It’s got just about everything. And I know you can get cheaper systems from Dell for the same specs. But it’s not the same, is it? I wish I had enough cash to keep my laptop and get a mini!
Best of all - it has OSX. Now I’ve been a Windows user almost forever… but there’s something about OSX that’s really cool 
.
Buddha wisely said - Want is the cause of all suffering. I can tell you - he’s right.
Until next time - keep wishing!
