Yeah, I went and took a look at a Mac Mini yesterday at the computer store
at the University of Wisconsin. They said there would be a $35 charge to put
an extra gig of ram in a Mac Mini. $90 for the RAM itself.

You can in fact upgrade the ram in a Mini. It just has to be done by
someone who knows what the hell their doing. I obtained a url to a site
that explains upgrading some of the Macs and let me tell you, I got a
distinct tighten in a certain orifice just reading the descriptions. Its
not something you'd take lightly cause there's a lot of stuff you can
surely screw up in these machines. This is the price for packing it all
in as tight as they do.

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

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
