I did it! I actually? did it! Just two days ago, on Saturday, I went up to Best Buy and with a chunk of extra income I had this month, I bit the bullet and bought me a mac mini! So now I have my 13 inch mid 2010 white macbook, and I also now have this mini. I am taking the mini back to swap, as Best Buy messed up though. They gave me an opened box mid 2011 model. They didn't even tell me it was opened. Imagine my horror when I got home and tried with its serial number to register it. It told me the purchase date I entered was not correct. When I called Apple, they told me it had been purchased by someone else over a year ago. We went and looked in the About this Mac page and saw it was a mid 2011, not the newest 2012 model. That really pissed me off. Anyway, I called Best Buy and spoke with the manager. He was extremely apologetic, and said if I could run it up there, he'd swap it for no cost for the correct newer 2012 model. I love this system as is, but it's only got the I5, 2GB ram, where what I wanted was the I5 4GB ram. NOt only that but I discovered this morning earlier when trying to charge my IPhone, that one of the USB ports is bad. I'm not very happy about this transaction, but, here is the bottom line. It's gonna get swapped, and then I'll use Migration assistance and move all my stuff from the macbook back over which won't take but maybe an hour or so, so really, I'm honestly not very concerned as far as losing data. I have this thing right now hooked up to my 5.1 home theater system via HDMI, high deff, and I gotta tell you, sitting here now typing this e-mail on the thing… this is amazing! I never thought Alex could sound so good through a set of surround speakers. I shutter to think once I get the new system with the 4GB ram how good this will be. I actually don't even have my windows desktop hooked up any more. If I absolutely must do windows, I have a Dell Inspiron system I can use in a pinch, although I'd rather not, if I can help it. LOL!
Anyway, I am so glad to finally officially be a full mac user! I still find myself wanting to fall back on Windows, but my guess is now that I don't have an easy way to do so, in time I'll get more used to things over here. I know what I'm doing, it's just a bit awkward. Anyway, just wanted to share. Hope that was OK.
