Wrong again. smmug which is the mac user's group I'm part of here in
Southern Maryland routinely advises would-be purchasers of macs to buy the
minimum from Apple possible to save money. They also know of and have
aftermarket sources for new owners to upgrade memory and just about
everything else inside those mac computers. The cases appear sealed but
in Smartco's Mac room when a mac needs it the cases magically open under
the hands of a well-trained technician to do those upgrades and repairs.

Ok, well there's a big problem with the Mac Mini in my view, once you choose
the configuration you want then you cannot change it because the unit is
sealed. For example, suppose you order a Mac Mini with 512 meg of Ram then
that's what you've got and that's the end. I myself would go for an Imac or
if you're looking for something portable, a Macbook.
I just purchased an Imac, I didn't buy the new model I bought the slightly
older one and I got a good deal, I'll be upgrading memory shortly.
I have a Mac Mini and its prime job these days is an audio recorder, soon to
become video recorder if my research and homework pay off <smile>.

Hey guys,
Alright, it's time to make the plunge. Any ideas for a starter mac, that
can do the following.
As long as I can do email, web surfing, and some audio editing, I'm happy.
As long as voiceover doesn't burp every time you hit a key. Graphics aren't
my thing obviously. I've heard a lot about the mac minny.
Any thoughts? I think a desktop or something along those lines would be the
way to go.
Any thoughts?
Sincerest Regards,
Jed
