    Pros: Works with my existing periphials

    Cons: Can't rest my 20" CRT on it

    Well, everything set-up quickly and easily. All I had to do was turn it on and follow the on-screen instructions and, voila! I was surfing the internet in 20 mins after opening the box. I imagine cable users will have the same experience as I do, DSL... is currently what I'm using. I can't speak for dial-up users though. Safari, Apple's web-surfing program, was much speedier than any Windows browser I've ever used. I don't have to worry about viruses eating my data anymore either. I do need to get an anti-virus program to clean files I send to my work CPU. Even though it won't be affected by the viruses, it can spread it to systems that can, IBM and IBM compatables that is, if the files are not "disinfected". You can't run graphic intense programs on it and not expect hiccups. This is an entry level CPU and performs flawlessly for my music, surfing, and most of my games. It won't run Doom 3 as seamless as a G5, but I feel a lot more safer with putting my data on this little beauty. Read more Less

    what took me so long!

    Pros: size, features, mac-os, ease of use, price, etcetra.

    Cons: need a faster hard drive, 5400rpm would be nice.

    After using a PC with Windows for 8 years and getting too many BLUE screens, I was ready to chuck the computer altogrther. A pal I know who shares a certain passion for fine watches asked me why I don't look into a Mac...I said I didn't know!... A few days later I checked out the local Apple store and was amazed at the hardware. It took me about 5 trips and some internet searching to finally say to my self to go forward with the Mini with 1 gig of ram. Needless to say I was very surprised to see this in my house. Once you get over the windows way of using the Mac, you'll find out what all the hoopla is about! I will NOT go back to Windows. Do your self a favor, check it out!!! GPLEE Read more Less
