Mac Mini review PING!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping list, Freepmail me.
Computer columnist who had been recommending Dell for cheap basic computers now unabashedly pumps Mac. Says it comes with great software including an Office-type suite.
Like the size.... However the best way to get a computer cheap is to build it yourself.
An 'upgrader' from my current Macintosh? Definitely not: I can buy a DUAL 1.8ghz G4 7447 processor upgrade for only a hundred dollars more for my "Mystic" from http://www.gigadesigns.com and still keep my multiple drives and PCI slots and internal zip drive and inexpensive 1.5gig RAM and gigabit ethernet and analog/digital audio input.
I think a lot of other current Macintosh owners would make out better from upgrades too - those that have the older 'big boxes'.
