Apple Juice - an ode to Mac

I do not usually write much about Mac because I do not use one for work or play. This does not me however that I am not a huge fan.

I fall into the category of : hot for the look, scared of the price, don't want the grief of compatibility issues.

Mini Mac is a new thing. 499 is an extremely low price for anything that would call itself Mac or Apple. Mini Mac is a mini cpu that you attach to your own monitor and utilities. Of course for those that just like the software and speed of Mac systems this is good enough. For those of you like me who lust after the high tech look of a Mac system this only increases the desire to see prices drop throughout the hardware line.

I like what Tom Yager had to say about his Mac, "One day I'll tell you what similarly ridiculous things I've done to try to wreck my Macs, but they just won't wreck. As long as that remains true, I'll stay switched."

He thinks its pretty sexy stuff too. :) How about you?
