I’m NOT getting a Mac Mini

For quite a while, I’ve been considering trying a Mac, because Mac OSX, with it’s sexy BSD backend, looks really neat and amazingly easy to use. Finally, with the advent of the Mac Mini, they lowered the pricepoint to the point where I could realistically try it out. Or so I thought. (continued)

Well, the blog has been a little dead that last week… Which kind of mimics how I felt for quite a bit of the same time period. That’s right, I was sick as a dog. A sick dog. But that’s not all that’s been up, not by a long shot. (continued)
