I just posted this in another forum and thought I would copy paste it here...
At the following URL you will find the brand new product from apple, which they hope will rocket the Mac platform to popularity only seen by Windows. The mac "mini" is basically a second attempt at the earlier mac cube that sold so low apple immediately pulled it from production.
http://www.apple.com/macmini/
This thing can be described as no more than a joke. No keyboard, no mouse, no display, just a box with a DVD drive and a few ports, with no room for expansion. The highest HD avaliable is an 80 Gig, so anyone hoping to do video work can forget it, unless you want to chance your captures to a USB hard drive if you run out of room. So basically, by the time your done building this thing up to an acceptable level, and buying all the stufff that it doesn't come with, you end up paying as much as you would have if you had bought a loaded Dell.
And if that wasn't enough, Apple is also adding insult to injury by releasing a new line of flash memory ipods with NO display. Wow, that should be convenient when I'm browsing through hundreds of songs, what genius thought that one up.

I seriously hate that company more each day.
