    nope. i have had my Mac mini for 3 years now and you can't destroy it, it can take anything! I have actually tried to screw it up, because they updated it a lot for the new ones, and that didn't work at all, so now i am stuck with this one. Ha that actaully makes it sound like a bad thing, but i kept my DELL also for my flight Sim

    No. Actually, they're really simple to learn. They're great for people that know nothing about computers (ie: my mom) or for people that use it for creative stuff (ie: me or my dad)

    Well, over here, everybody in college uses a mac. Some universities over here even require a mac. It's very consistent also. Never had any problems with it.

    evening drew


    Good evening a few days late. I used a Mac but it seems weird how things work. You get on there and go "Where's the Start button, where's my Control Panel? Ah, we have a expanding dock now. That looks too cool. Plus Chess, wow!!!! But after a minute or so, you pick it up and go wow that was so bloody easy". I must get myself a Mac.

    But I am quite a fan of Linux - I tried Ubuntu 7.10 which has such cool effects and the best programs ever. Completely free & open-source as well, so you don't get ripped off like you do with Microsoft.
