... and it was a huge hit, so many people asked me where they could buy one that I lost count. After work I took it to the pub and and it made just as big a splash so I reckon I may have made a few more switchers today.

(iLife 5 was a huge hit btw, I borrowed someones camera and plugged it in, then with a large audience I put their photos into one of the stock iDVD themes and then applied some of the music from my iPod, all I could hear behind me was ooohs and aaahs.

Yes and no in that order.

The lack of Mac specific keys isn't really a problem for what I want to use it for but it would be nice to be able to map them to other keys somehow.

They were selling them in my local store for 25.99 over the Xmas break so I bought two, one has already gone to a new home as part of a Shuttle system I built for a relative and the other was earmarked for my boat PC but the Mini seemed a better match for it.

I've since added a powered USB 2 Hub to give it 3 extra USB sockets, unfortunately it is black but that should go with the leather in my car.
