Mac Mini arrived

| 6 Comments

Ooh, got the Mac Mini this morning. The box it comes in is Tiny. tiny! actually. It's very spiffy. More like my DP 1.4GHz PowerMac than my 867MHz PowerBook. And a lot cheaper than either.

I haven't been in a properly quiet environment with it yet, but it seems very quiet so far.

It arrived with iLife '04 installed and iLife '05 on a separate DVD.

iWork didn't get here yet, but should soon. I'm really looking forward to using Pages instead of Adobe InDesign for writing letters...

I ordered a 1GB memory stick from NewEgg which should get here soon. Hopefully someone will post pictures on how to take it apart so I won't have to figure it out. :-)

James Duncan Davidson is also getting a Mac Mini to use as a really fancy DVD (etc) player...

iPod Shuffle? A steal at twice the price (although the comparison should be with other USB drives rather than a memory stick...)

Update: Brad Choate IM'ed me a link to a take-it-apart video. (And roughly at the same minute Lars Thegler added the links to the comments here; don't mind me -- I live under a rock)
