A friend of mine was finally persuaded (by me) to go ahead and buy a new Mac mini to replace his Win/PC tower, thinking he could reuse his existing external drives, keyboard, mouse & monitor. He didn't notice till he got it home that Apple removed the Superdrive from the new Mac mini! He called me up asking WTF? I didn't realize it either. An external Superdrive is $79 extra. On top of that, they also replaced the monitor connector with a Thunderbolt socket. So he went back and returned it. Fortunately they had one of the previous models still in stock so he bought that instead, and is happy with it.
What is Apple thinking -- that everyone's integrated into the iCloud already? I thought the mini was in some part for "switchers", but to come without even an optical drive is a deal killer. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
