I thought about doing that yesterday (buying a refurb) but the new mini is a much nicer machine that the previous model. I couldn't see spending ~550 to 'save' $150 and gimp the computer. The 320M versus the 9400M is a big step up in graphics, and having an SD reader is convenient. I did think long and hard about the $750 Server refurb though… Honestly, if I had the cash on hand I might have bought it (but only if I'd already bought my iPhone 4). -- Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
