Almost a year ago I got my 17" MBP, and my Mini has been sitting on my desk for almost 8 months without being used. So, away it goes, and the money for it is being turned around into a white MacBook for my wife.

That's not to bad then. Your Mini will be going to someone who will use it. After all, it was designed to be used, right?
I managed to switch my wife over to Macs. She really likes them now. I rarely get to use my MacBook anymore.
Are you going to wait for MacWorld to see if any new MacBooks come out?

I was able to get my wife to love OS X as well, she just uses a laptop all the time (mainly uses the computer while sitting on the couch) so portability is the biggest issue of non-use for the Mini. When she gets the chance she's all over my MBP, but I'm gone so much that she doesn't get that opportunity very often.
It's looking to be around mid-February when we will get her MacBook, but I'll probably buy her a refurbished one, unless there are drastic changes. I bought my MBP refurbished back in February and haven't had any issues with it, and it's been used every day since then.

Hey nuke! WB man! Hope you're doing fine!
And good luck on selling your Mini. I understand why you feel a bit sad. I felt the same way when I sold my G4 iMac 17" but at least it went to a good home.

I understand your pain - I still miss my G3 iMac.

I've gotten about a half-dozen responses on Craigslist for the Mini and replied to all of them - now it's a waiting game for who actually calls for pick-up information.
