Mac Mini
Posted by | Filed under Computers
While I don’t own any computers from Apple (unless you want to count my iPod); I have friends that do and so I tend to follow any news about them. Today at MacWorld Expo 2005, Steve Jobs announced many things but in particular he announced 2 products that sound very interesting in deed. I’m speaking of the iPod shuffle and the Mac mini. The first interests me as my iPod is an older model with less battery life than I’m happy about (plus, I think it would make a cool birthday gift for the fiance). The second is interesting for a number of reasons:
- It’s a Mac and it’s affordable.
- If it’s really as quiet as they’re saying; it could make a great computer to put next to the TV, for watching video files off my server1.
- It’s smaller than the phone on my desk at work!
- Did I mention it’s affordable?
Of course, these products have only just been announced and aren’t available just yet. Not that I’ve got the money to buy either one right now. *sigh*
1 For the record, those video files are episodes of fan-subbed anime that haven’t been licensed in the US yet.

Alex: I had this problem on a 1999 Golf V5 however this solution didn't work. I phoned a mechanic, who said this:
1) Turn off ignition
2) Turn key part way but don't start the car. With some combination of wiggling the gearstick and turning the key without starting the engine, you can move the stick.
3) Hold the

Janetxb: Another (former) Dannon coffee yogurt fan here..... until recently. I'd say for about 25 years I had one carton of Dannon coffee yogurt almost every day. I was pretty bummed out when they switched from 8- to 6-oz. cups, but I adjusted. Lately I do this instead: I put 1/2 t

Turns out the fiance doesn’t think she’d really care for the iPod Shuffle, but the Mac mini does interest her. Hmm, how will I ever save enough money for that and everything else that we need between now and May? *sigh*
