At orchestra rehearsal last night, one of the bassists
proudly told me that
he'd bought a new computer--a Mac Mini for about $800, which included a 14"
LCD monitor and a gig of DRAM. I must admit that I'm not sure if he got a
good deal or not. You're definitely limited on expansion options and I'd
sure hate to repair the thing.
They're not that hard to get into. Literally all you need is a putty knife.
I've done some work on the mini a friend of mine has and it was fairly
straightforward to do surgery on hers.
DVD/CD-RW drive, but no floppy.
So? ^_^ Macs haven't had floppies in them since the original iMac. This
isn't a new thing. For my dual G4, I just use a USB floppy drive.
The mini is basically an iBook G4 in a smaller case with no screen.
