This is Doug Barney,Editor in Chief, Redmond magazine's take on the recent announcement by Apple of a new mac mini.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I was excited when I heard that Apple had a new dual-core Mac
Mini that started at six hundred smackers. I figured enough of
us have monitors, keyboards and mice that we could have a
pretty rippin' unit for six large. My next ill-conceived
conclusion was that this could start a wave of home computer
buying, as so many IT vets would leap at a slick home computer
they don't have to regularly rebuild.
But $600 is for a single-core with a 60MB hard drive and
read-only DVD? That ain't exactly muscle. The dual-core model
starts at $800 -- not quite an impulse buy.

Still, at least Apple engineers are putting up a fight, while
the marketing and PR departments are asleep at the PC wheel.
Maybe Apple will succeed in the PC market without even trying.
If they do, they can thank Microsoft for creating the
frustration that makes the Mac so enticing. Me? I'm saving my
Benjamins for a MacBook.
Microsoft can't let Apple hog all the hardware headlines, so it
kinda of let it slip that it's working on a cool, new,
super-small device it calls Origami. (Did I just fall for the
trick of publicizing every new Microsoft code name? I guess I'm
part of the problem.)

| This tells me that Mac is a beautiful lady that puts on too much makeup. |
