Except the Mini has no monitor, no battery, no built-in keyboard. Add all of
those things, and it costs more than the MacBook.

The only things that the Mini has going for it are that it is the least
expensive Mac, and that it is the smallest Mac.
Being inexpensive doesn't mean that it is a good bargain, though, only that it
is the least expensive way to get some kind of Mac.
Being small is important for some special si

Actually you can get a Mini with a 2.53Ghz processor and 4Gb of DDR 3 ram. So,
they are comparable to a Macbook.

Yes, I have it, mostly with hTML emails, but, sometimes, with text as well.
When using HTML, sometimes, doing command option P to convert it to text works,
other times it doesn't!
I have had this problem ever since I had my mini, and, several updates haven't
addressed it.

Interesting. Mine should arrive tomorrow, and I hope I don't regret being an

Thank you for sharing. Yes that is an interesting article.
I agree with the author of the article though. It depends on each
individual and what their needs and wants are.

Hello Greg,
My PAC Mate 20 is working as well as it ever did with OS X 10.6.3. I can't say
I like the thing, but it does still work. However, I'm using French Braille and
it's uncontracted. I don't see how this could make a difference but you never
know.
Cheers,

Hello James,
I use MP3 so that all my iTunes library is compatible with my Milestone 311
which I had before getting an iPod. It saves me from messing around converting
files. Oh, yes, and my hearing just isn't keen enough anymore to hear the
difference.
Cheers,

FYI, ogg is not lossless, it's lossey compression. Tons of information are
being discarded. Some people claim it sounds better than mp3 encoding but it's
just not as widely supported. More importantly, the reason why it appeals to
some is that there are no licensing fees.

Well, two easy answers.
1. mp3 is just well integrated into the ecosphere with strong and often
default support in both software and devices for many platforms. Just
like Internet Explorer for some is the internet, mp3 for some is the
standard audio file. That's not a technical problem.
2. I
Even when loaded you can do other stuff. It will just slip the work into
the cracks while the encoding is going on. Depending on what's happening
the encode can be waiting on disk IO so it can do some other stuff in
the slivers of time that takes. If you want to know what the CPU is
doing you c

Hi list,
Lyn and I were talking earlier, and we were wondering why people continue to
use MP3 files when there are lossless formats such as OGG? Some people are able
to hear the difference between something ripped at 320 kpbs and 160 kpbs for
example. My question is, why do people continue to

Good morning listers!
I imported my David Garrett cd last night and discovered that the track numbers
were in reverse order. I looked in the menus and did not find any where to sort
by track number. I know it is some where because I did it before. For the life

Bryan, I really think your selling the Mini entirely to short. Honestly, I know
people who have purchased Minis and have found them to be very satisfactory. I
really think it depends on what you want from the machine. For the stuff your

Wow. I'm sorry for you.
I really think that people should be using the Mini to get a taste, not to get
the absolute top of the line Mini as a permanent computer.
If anyone else is reading this that is considering a purchase, buy the least
expensive Mini. Don't worry that it doesn't have enough

Very well stated, but I would disagree with you regarding the processor. The
processor may not be as fast as the other Macs available, but it sure is not a
bad processor either. However, I agree with all of your other points and why
