Anybody have screen shots of OS 10.4 Tiger?

Sure, here's my OSX Tiger desktop browsing your thread on amiga.org, and a shot of my Documents folder to show off some flashy icons.

Looking at the "best bang for the buck" USD400 for an XBOX 360 verses >USD500 for a Mac Mini, the answer is clear... "Hello again, Bill!"

I don't see the comparison. $400 for a games console or $500 for a fully fledged computer? I'd go for the mini any day. Besides, you said you wanted a Mac, not a games console, right?

Correct. However, isn't the Xbox an all inclusive computer/game console solution?

No. It is based on triple(!) G4 PPC chips, which are the same processors used by Apple at the moment, but that doesn't mean it will run OSX. In fact I can tell you that without serious hacking of the OS, it won't. The XBOX 360 does have more functionality in its OS than the original XBOX, but nothing that comes close to MacOX, and nothing that can't be done with an original XBOX and a modchip for a lot less cash.

Seriously, if you want a Mac, go for the Mini. You won't regret it  :-)
