I"ll really hate it if lion is distributed in the app store. that will
be going that little bit too far. Personally, I prefer physical discs,
and distributing through the app store would mean no apple stickers
came with it;(

Yes the Snow Leopard upgrade was under $50, but don't expect that Lion will be
that inexpensive. I have purchased every version of OS X and every other
version of X was around $140. Snow Leopard was for the visual user mostly just
a speed bump. They removed all support for PPC and optimized multi-proceoor
support but did not make significant changes to the standard suite.
On the other hand there is some speculation that Lion will be distributed via
the App Store and that would reduce distribution costs.

Speaking of lion, and the new sandy bridge macs that are supposed to be
released soon. Is there a twitter feed, or mailing list available so you
know when these products are about to hit the shelf? Also, if you buy a new
mac in let's say June, that has snow leopard on it, does apple allow you to
upgrade for free or a discount? Probably not.

Subject: Re: General questions on mac mini
I'll wait for lion because I'm anyway still saving up and it's not urgent.
The reason for thinking a mini will be fine is because I'm currently running
a pc with a 2.5 GHz dual core cpu and 2 GB ram and I'm recording fine. The
mini can go up to 2.8 or 9 GHz dual core with
8 GB RAM, but please tell me what you guys think will I be fine with a mini?
Another thing, is there something like 32 and 64 bit on a mac?
would I be able to use 64 bit software designed for pc and mac and get the
most from it on a mini?

I'll be using it for professional audio recordings with pro

I think this set up will be fine to get you started. A drive just for
audio will allow you to avoid headaches. Make sure that it is a firewire
800 drive with firewire pass through. You always want to plug your
harddrive in first and then your audio interface. Also you want the drive
to be 7200 rpm.
