No problem. ;^) > Didn't mean to rehash some things like the KVM,. > > When the Mac mini was rumored, then announced, I monitored a forum that > discussed a lot of these issues from both an Apple and PC user > perspective: I actually think that the Mini look very nice - but in my case it would be exclusively for testing Safari. I'm personally very happy with my Windows PCs so I just wouldn't be using it for much else. As for the capabilities I agree completely that if you don't have them then it's a great deal - but I already do. Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, DVD burning, Home Theater connectivity, etc - I've already got it all and am happy with it. Since all of the people I "support" (parents, grandparents, children, etc) are all Windows as well - if somebody new to computing came along (and I didn't have to support them) I would definitely suggest it. My standing rule on this is always "buy whatever the person you're going to be bugging for help has". The unit is small - but a keyboard, mouse and screen do take up space (and precious, precious power outlets). If I had my own home (or didn't have two kids) I could easily find room - but with four people living in an apartment with only one closet space is at a premium. Lastly it's also just that if I were to have an extra $500 to spend there are a lot of other things that would help more than having a Mac test bed. For me, personally, the cost just isn't worth the gain. That being said I'm DYING for a client to request Mac testing so that I can add a Mac Mini to the project cost. I really do think it's a slick little beastie... ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:193248 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
