Yeah, I just can't get all that excited about a company named Lenovo.

4.5 percent? It doesn't appear that many people are very excited about Apple either!

Hmm, I'm not sure that's anything to brag about. I have worked in several large corporate IT environments and I'm not sure I've ever seen an IBM desktop.

Laoptops and servers, however, are all over the place.

As a confirmed UNIX goon and user of Intel products for over a decade, I have to admit that the new Mac Minis are quite a nice product. I bought one and have been putting it through the rigors and I not only like its performance, but its silence and compactness.

This little beastie fits right on top of one of my bookends. And, as shown above, it's scarcely larger than a double-CD jewel case.

In spite of that, it holds a 10/100 NIC, 56K modem, DVI/VGA converter, 2 USB-2 slots and 1 firewire slot, plus a CD-RW/DVD-RW, 80 GB HD and 512 MB RAM.

The whole thing only set me back around $500. That makes it pretty competitive with the PC market.

I expect that HP computers will soon go the way of all PCs, to the grinding machine where they will become road fill, a suitable end to worm-ridden, virus-infected, trouble-laden PCs.
