Mac Mini
This is my mac mini.
I bought it in May or June of 2005 $669+.
It is made by Apple.
When I found out that Apple had finaly released an under $1000 computer I was estatic. I have always been in awe of the mac world, but an outsider because you had to be super rich to buy a computer.
I did LOTS of research on this computer and I ended up buying the 1.24 gherz, 80gb model with a superdrive to write DVDs. This elevated the price from the $4499 base price, but it had all the capabilities I wanted.
After owning it for a while I've noticed the "slowess". Apparently it is because the hard drive runs slowerr than it could. The solution seems to be to mimic the hard drive contents on a faster external hard drive, thus boosting the speed.
I haven't done this yet, maybe someday. The space is already pretty full! It was nice to have when I first moved to Californina though, because it was small and I didn't need much more space at the time. I sure love the operating system. It is so intuitive and pretty! Go apple!
