Works fine with AWeb and clicking the links. If you are using FireFox set it

What ghastly images! :) Give me the Walker or the Vapor. :)

They were definately made by artists... not designers. Designers solve problems, while artists create their own.
As for the thread title, I don't see enough resemblance.

Yeow! Those were ugly!
I think the Mac gets its inpiration from devices like the Mac Porsche LaCie hard disk:

Sortof...but still not quite the same. I think that the mini was inspired by other mac products like the iPod and the cinema displays with the aluminum trim. I looked at one at CompUSA yesterday...they look a lot better to me in person.

I bought one for my wife a week or so ago. She is completely "switched", and is madly in love with iTunes. What is really interesting is number of her clients that see it and comment on it and want to try it out.
It really is a nice piece of kit. And, I think it will really bring more users away from Microsoft (always a good thing).

Apple stealing from Amiga? Come on please, the days you could steal something from Amiga are long gone.
The quest to make things smaller is going on for a long time. Apple just made a very small motherboard and put it, together with an optical drive, in the smallest case they could design.
The Nanode looks much like the mini-mac but is nano-itx based. Check www.mini-itx.com for details.
Better the Amiga community keeps its eyes peeled for steelable things :-P (sorry I'll stop trolling here)

Dell were offering a complete 3gig pc for what the mac mini cost with no mouse keyboard or monitor. its a rip off cpu speeds are nearly as slow as the amiga.

Given that it has no (read no) expandibility at all, not even a mac zealot could argue it was better value than the amiga one :-D

You are right. But I am amazed at how many times people really beleive that.........
No, I'm not going say it.

Sounds like that articles written by a closed-minded Amiga users. "It doesn't run XP so it's not a good computer" sounds very much like "It doesn't run AmigaOS so it sucks".
That article was pointless, as the user was very much close-minded to begin with.

From the article... Which everyone should read with their sense of humour definitely switched on :-)
It might also be the perfect computer for grandmothers or autistic children, for example
In today’s climate of non-stop worms, trojans and viruses, releasing a computer with no virus removal software is irresponsible on the part of Apple
When I consider that a good deal of my time is spent running applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform--it doesn't make sense for me to "switch" to a Mac at this time.
Perhaps, just perhaps, it's a little bit of a joke article? ;-)

Hey! I remember the mac mini from a long time ago, it was really cool.. It had enough memory to run all of the programs you could run on it. It had a nice digital display, and you could even program it in low level machine language. The thing I miss most about it is the nice system TRAY that held all the programs you'd ever want to run on it, right next to the display.

Me I'd still stick with the 3 gig dell for price performance..

That article is a spoof, take a closer look at the site itself, heres another spoof:

Don't read too much into it, the site istelf is a waste of valuable bandwidth.
