[QUOTE="James, post: 70482, member: 7582"] Don't you bother to read what you want to rant about...? "First off you have to remember, you are buying a "low end" system when you buy the mini, so don't expect top end performance. However, from what i have seen of Mac systems, i would say that a low end Mac will probably give you as good a service as a mid range ibm system. I would make sure that you have at least 512 or better in ram." I said it is a low end system because it is, why lie about it, that is what is attracting the man to the system in the first place. I also said that it would probably perform as well as a mid range ibm style machine, so tell me just where I was bad mouthing the mini... From what i can see it looks to be a very good buy for the price, i certainly would rather have the Mac Mini than the $499 dell. Seems like i also recommended 512 or better ram too. I answered his question about the external drive and made recomendations about what kind to get and how i think it should be set up for best usage of the available functions, then assured him that OS X was quite easy to use for anyone coming from the windows world, which was one of his concerns. So, taking into consideration what i actually said and the manner in which i said it, i think your so called "rant" just just a bit misplaced don't you? [/QUOTE]
