The problem I've always had with the Mini, was that I never quite saw
the point of why it needed to be so small.

That was clearly a design/lifestyle decision. Jobs or Ive liked the idea
of it being small, and Ive or Jobs agreed.

What I hate about it is that *because* it's small and featureless, it's
so bloody hard to get into it to upgrade the RAM. I have a friend with a
base spec IntelMini which works, but which so badly needs another half
gig or so of RAM... I'll have to fit it, and frankly I'm dreading it.
This is a seriously bad feature.

It's not particularly pleasant (all sorts of cracking sounds as you release the top), but not too difficult.

It pales into insignificance compared to the mighty mouse. Quite why it can't be opened for cleaning without being destroyed is just daft.
