Now you're getting the idea. The number one purpose of the Mac mini is to replace Wintel boxes. That means, you take it home, unplug your keyboard and monitor from the Wintel POS and plug it into the Mac mini and you're up and running.
It appears that 99% of the monitors out there will work with it, just like they will with any Mac that has a DV and standard video port. And the price tag is low enough to convince the Wintel crowd that there is an inexpensive alternative to their box. The only difficulty I might see here is that there's nothign for the Wintel crowd to tinker with. Had I been the designer, I would have added one more USB and Firewire port on the side or front of the box, easily reachable to plub in iPods, Shuffles, or what-have-yous. BTW, I took a look at the Envision flat-screens that are on sale at CompUSA... very nice and pretty inexpensive. rob Dan Crutcher wrote: > These mini-Macs could make excellent workstations for companies like > mine that need inexpensive OS X-capable machines and already have a few > extra monitors sitting around. > > But it would also be very nice to couple the mini-Macs with LCD > monitors.
