Woo-Hoo Got a Mac Mini today!
« on: July 04, 2010, 04:23:21 AM »
Yippee.

I finally found myself a Mac Mini today,  1.5ghz w/ 1gb ram, OSX 10.5 .... $130 (not too bad I hope.). Soon to have MorphOS on it..... I can't wait.

BTW, I never touched a Mac before and am already impressed using the Mac OS, it seems nice compared to Vista.

My only worries are now my Amiga and C64 projects get put on the back burner a little longer.... too many projects but soooo much fun!

Are you sure it is PPC Mac?

It was not what he should use it to..!... Wonder if I should not care about the Amiga for a while and let others take over. OK, I stick to Windows..
MorphOS and AmigaOS is so far behind, there is no point to support them.

Obviously I can't speak for the man but the odds are it is a PPC MacMini - there were some 1.5ghz intel models released but they almost immediately jumped up to 1.66 and beyond.

Not saying it isn't, and by "some" of course even for Apple means several tens of thousands, just that the odds on would be that it's a PowerPC based one.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Yes I know this forum is for allaroundjunkies, and I do not care if I get banned. I have much more to choose from. And of course old Amiga Rules!!!

Wow, that's cheap! I'd buy 3rd mini for that price ;) Happy MorphOS'ing!

Congratulations! :)

That's a very good price, especially if it's a silent upgrade (64MB VRAM) and not just a slightly overclocked 1.42GHz one (but that one is fine too).

Welcome aboard!

MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)
