Specious arguements!
Huge is a matter of perspective. The PC will fit quite nicely under your desk and you will hardly know it is there. Butt Ugly is in the eye of the beholder, besides people are not buying Art just a computer. Using system memory instead of dedicated memory only serves to reduce cost and does little to degrade performance. You can always add memory to your PC should it become an issue. As to speed, the G4 is hardly a speed demon. As to durability, sine there are no numbers on the Mac Mini to compare to this is a strange boast. For that matter, pleae provide a link that shows that MAC's last longer then a PC.

CIOs have come out saying the MAC is not ready for business. It seems the only ones that are exited about it are the Apple faithfull. That hardly boads well for them gaining market share.
