[QUOTE="theog, post: 70660"] Ladies and Gents, there is a newbie in the house... :) Actually, for what I am doing, I will keep the current system as is... I am taking ebooks (pdf) built on windows, tests that I made (found out the program will let me save as .html), and pictures and putting on CD for Mac users. Not high tech stuff. I develop software and before a $1000 mac was not an attractive price to offer a "Mac" line. Now the mini is out at $499, it is like, duhh... what is the excuse now? I have other test machines (win 98, win 2000) so monitors, keyboards and mice are around. I will use to build and test. I can't use the mac since I also develop database apps, and other PC specific stuff. Not to cause a war, I don't know which is better (OS wise)... I could really care less. As long as it starts when I want and has resonable reliability, I am happy. I have never used a Mac, but in college I wrote a paper on Steve Jobs... in my openion he is the best CEO on the planet. Bill may be richer, but I don't think Apple would be Apple without Mr. Jobs. When I took speech, he was who I wanted to be like!!! Bottom line... never did the PC vs. Mac... enough love for everyone. Anyway, the Mac Mini should fit my needs without need of buying anything else. If I were to have graphic extensive files or something, then I might need something else. Moving html and pdf files for installation (burn to CD/DVD), I doubt if I will have any need for anything above the mini. [/QUOTE]
