Apple has a lousy sense of humor...

I had to come back to talk about what a bad joke the new Mac Mini is.
1.6 GHz Intel dual core processor, 512 GB of RAM, Integrated Intel
Graphics, with 64 MB of shared memory, one DVD drive, and only 80 GB of
HD, all for... wait for it... EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!
For only $50 more, I got an HP a1250n, with a dual core 2.0 GHz AMD
processor, 1 GB of RAM, two DVD drives (one is a LightScribe burner),
ATI RADEON XPRESS 200
256 MB Shared video memory (UMA), three PCI slots, one PCI-E slot, and
a 9-in-1 media reader. I also got 7 USB ports, and 2 Firewire ports.
USB, Firewire, Headphone and audio ports mounted on the front of the
case as well as the back.
When I bought my PC in early December of last year, I had misgivings
that I should have waited for the new Intel Mac Mini. I'm glad I
didn't.
I put a XFX GeForce 6600 256MB PCIe w/DVI/TV-OUT card into my new PC
shortly after I bought it, for $90. There's something you'll never be
able to do with a Mac Mini, at any cost.
