Apple Mac Mini
As you may have read in a previous post, I am now working with RubyOnRails to do web development. I have watched a number of screencasts showing tutorials of how to do various things. Most of these screencasts have been made from a Mac, and they are very impressive. The GUI looks so clean and the programs they are running just look better. As a result of this I have been seriously considering purchasing a Mac. Unfortunately, Macs are expensive. Not neccesarily more expensive than a comparable wintel computer, but expensive nonetheless. One option, is the Mac Mini, they start at $499 and the fastest one is $699. Of course, as soon as I start researching the Mac Mini, I find out that Apple may annouce a new one at MacWorld next week. I really don’t want to spend money on something that may have some kick-ass upgrades (including an Intel processor) in just a few months. Of course if I always waited until the next major upgrade to purchase high tech stuff, then I would always be waiting!
