[QUOTE="HazelGirl, post: 172618"] I am a "transitioner" --not a full switcher yet. I JUST bought a Mac Mini...the BASE configurationw ith no upgrades for $479 including student discount. I plan to eventually get a powerbook, but like you I did not want to wait and I am goign to use this little fella to get me used to the Mac OS. I absolutely LOVE IT. I also bought a Mighty Mouse, which some love and others hate...but I've found it to be excellent. I am using it with a kensington keyboard designed fo rboth Mac and PC and also a 17 inch NEC flat panel display and Harman/Kardon speakers. I am using a kvm switch to enable me to use all that stuff with both my Mac and my Dell desktop and I switch between systems with the press of a button. Anyway, I was going to wait for the intel Mac minis that are supposed to come out but I would rather wait to see how things go with the intel move. It will likely be faster, but thats okay as I am not doing anything heavy on my mac mini. Networking is a cinch on the Mac side but Windows kinda gave me a headach...I was able to get both my PC desktop and my PC laptop networked to my little mini though and it is quite cool. I don't regret my purchase for an instant and I HIGHLY reccomend it. And also I woudl reccomend getting a KVM switch (one that includes audio so you can hook up your speakers) so that you can easily switch between the systems while you are getting used to the new Mac interface. You'll LOVE it....I've been ranting and raving about my new little mini since I got it. Even setup was easy....no annoying 20 letter/number codes to type in at setup and no hassles getting connected to the internet. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing. [/QUOTE]
