[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 529712, member: 9385"] That's essentially what I did 2.5 years ago, but with a PPC Mini. I was at about the same place you were, with the exceptions that my main home machine was a Linux box, and Tiger didn't come out until about 4 months later. Experiment to see if this MacOS X was all that. It was, and is. Switched my wife off of XP shortly thereafter with another Mini. Today my wife and I have a pair of Core 2 Duo Macbooks. One Mini went to my parents to get their feet wet, and the other is hooked up to our 37" LCD to act as media server. It also serves as backup mac should AppleCare require my Macbook to go somewhere overnight. No waste there. Always good to have redundancies, and Macs last a very long time from a technology perspective. [/QUOTE]
