The Mac Mini

It is a beautiful, fascinating and brilliant product by Apple Computers. Currently, for sale at a very value-4-money price.

Currently me, an Intel user on Windows XP. There is nothing fancy but nothign beats DIY experience with Intel based IBM PC/Clones in which we rarely do that(DIY) with a MAC. I guess the generation now doesn't want to be thrilled by all these technical aspect of DIY PCs. It's too much of a hassle or they just couldn't be bothered about it so much because this technical tasks can be easily outsource.

The question is why a Mac Mini? One reason is becoz a PowerMac is too expensive for a 'ciku' like me. Second reason, Mac has the best graphics and video editing utilities which I need for my hobby. Yes my video editting hobby in which I have invested in heavily. Third reason, it's so cool. You can plugin your old monitor and yet have the cool suave smooth graphic animation as you place your mouse over an icon.

I do not see an immediate urgency of having one. I can still live life without one and I can still do video with my current personal computer. I guess, I can term that as "nice to have" item. Hopefully, some generous soul out there would give it to me as a birthday or christmas present. I would be most delighted and appreciate. Otherwise, I would just leave it as it is until if I totally want to devote my career as an artistic talentic.

Bottomline is Mac Mini is something cool, value-4-money buy, hobby related and I want ... for FREE!!
