The Minimate is the thing I really need for my mini.
I went for the “big” model with the 80GB harddisk, but it’s nearly full and I’m only halfway through (re)ripping my CD collection.

All Mac related stuff will from now on go into it’s own blog.

Gotta keep things clean … you know.

I always wondered why they still ship one button mice,
even though I knew that they support multiple buttons.

People everywhere are complaining that the Mac Mini would make the perfect “set top box” or “home media center”
if it only had a video/tv capture card.

I just don’t get it.

You got this really cute video playing device and a broadband connection.
When will you actually watch TV ?

Just download the stuff (legally) from the web. iMovies anyone ?

Oh, you want to capture your selfmade videos ?
Hmmm … put one end of a FireWire cable into your cam and the other into the Mac Mini.
Any problem ?

Stop complaining.

The only thing really missing for this thing is a big harddisk…
… wait a minute. That’s connected to the WiFi-Broadband-DSL-Router-Printer-Server anyway.

Now I only need a cute little (bluetooth) iRemote.

I just ordered mine yesterday.

It was just to hard to resist.
I’ve been waiting for a sub $500 Mac for a few years now.
The Mac Mini is slightly above that, but who cares

Should be here in two weeks…
