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!

Congratulations! Thats a good price, now install MorphOS and have fun!
When you got time check if it's the 32MB or 64MB videoram version!


Yes, its the 64mb vram version.... the only thing it doesn't have is wifi and bluetooth but I am hoping to install that in the future.

64M vram version should come with those pre-installed.


Yes, I believe so.  But, unfortunately, I think the original owner removed both the wifi and bluetooth for another one of his Macs. :(  Didn't discover that  until I got home but I think I just got a lead for another Mini that has these.

What have I gotten myself into! :)

What now, wait just a minute, you won a Mini for 130$ but now you are bidding on anotherone?
Just so you know, neither wifi or bluetooth works under MorphOS, so why are you bidding on one more machine when you just boght one?


Who said anything about bidding?  

I said that I have a lead on another Mac Mini, which I DO plan to use wifi and bluetooth with on the Mac side.  This has more goodies with it for even less and includes wifi/bluetooth so how can I say no.

You ask me? I have never used an Apple computer as an Amiga computer. I will never do it, Mac and Amiga are two completely different computers on the same line as the new Mac and WinPCes are different. Amiga computer is an alternative to all the other computers. And it's not OSet that makes a computer alone.


Ahhh... But WinUAE+Amikit+OS3.9 IS an Amiga.... ok I see.

Amiga rules!     In 1990 maybe :)
