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

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 :-)

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..
