You are right: each to their own! My first couple of Macs and one I used for my daughter for her music for years were minis and I loved them. I still have an old ppc mini and a 2008 intel; the ppc one won't go beyond Leopard so I have it running linux; the 2008 one won't go beyond Lion but I can use it for this and that. They are also very nice with a bluetooth keyboard and a braille display because you don't have a computer with a keyboard taking up space. The minis I use sit way over in a corner somewhere by my modem and airport extreme and I use bluetooth or usb transmitter keyboards and keep a clearer table because of it. Lots to be said for a mini actually. I'm thinking seriously about a new one because these two old ones have to quit sometime. But I truly don't need a monitor for the two old minis and I very well might for the new one. Is there any way you can hook up a mini to use your imac's display or something? I do have an iMac which is actually my main computer. Only I pretty much use computers till they die or I find somebody to give them to so these older ones keep plugging along. But at any rate, just because some of us didn't find the new mac mini interesting doesn't mean that nobody cares about it.

And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
