$899.00 Dell. Probably a couple thousand less than you would pay for a Mac of similiar quality and speed.

Um, no. A G5 iMac is $1300, for example.

I already have one and it's not a Mac. Just get a generic PC and add the Firefox browser.

I have gone from supporting PCs to lots of little eMacs and five Mac servers. They are all tempermental. Hard to find the fixes for some issues that would never happen in a good PC. After you get the monitor, keyboard, etc for the mini Mac it seems to be expensive. Mac is still perceived as an anything but business machine and that makes it hard to see even the mini taking off. Dell can crush almost anyone.

An $899 Dell is not in the same league with even the cheapest Mac. Any such comparison is a joke.
