Wait a sec...did you just say YOU wanted a Mac? Hastin, the uber Windows geek? Wow.

Oh, BTW: The iPod Shuffle comes with 512 MB (not k) for $99. Considering that most 256 MB players cost more and don't have rechargeable batteries, thats a really good deal.

Oh, and the Mac mini is perfect for someone like me. I have a PC setup downstairs. Now, if I get the Mac mini, I just swap out the tower with the Mac and use my existing screen, keyboard and mouse. Though an even better idea would be for them to package each one with 2 free PS/2 converters

Hey, $500 for a computer isn't anything, especially when you just want it to try out the Mac.

And I'm sure it'll last longer than that 500 dollar screen in a box thingy you got

PS: If you do buy one, go with atleast 512 MB of RAM. You can upgrade it at home if you want, but having Apple do it is so much simpler (espically if you can get it for free off them, which is what I got on my Powerbook

)
