Danny Boy, I don't think we've begun to understand

yet all the Mac mini is going to bring to the party. In terms of
hardware, it is pretty radical. It's portablity and desktop features
are going to create a whole new set of paradigms.

While most people are focusing on the price point, I keep
thinking of all the applications the physical stature alone offer,
let alone the price.

Anybody on Windows 98 thinking of finally upgrading should
seriously consider this machine. Moving to a Mac mini from
W98 or even W2K would cost the same thing as moving to WXP if
you are planning on also migrating to Office 2003.

The Mac mini in the kitchen plugged into the TV is quite
revolutinary and not yet explored. DVD watching, internet radio,
meal preparation, first aid information, all kinds of stuff can now
be digitized in the kitchen, a room not yet really touched by
technology.
