Intel Mac Mini

My wish was granted today.

I was taking a few minutes this afternoon to catch up on the days events while at work and stumbled across a huge event on the Apple Web site.

The Intel Mac Mini has arrived.

This is a huge thing for me. I wasn't expecting the Intel Mac Mini until sometime in the middle of summer this year. Hell, the main reason why I bought a laptop was due to this belief. Had I known that only a few days after my purchase that Apple would release the ONE thing that I've been waiting for, I doubt I would've made the purchase.

I don't know why I'm surprised tho. These things seem to happen to me for some reason.

Here's the specs:

* 1.5GHz Intel Core Solo or 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor
* Apple Remote with Front Row
* Up to 2GB memory4
* Intel GMA950 graphics processor
* DVI connector, VGA adapter
* Slot-loading optical drive
* Up to 120GB hard drive4
* Built-in gigabit Ethernet
* Analog and digital audio
* Expansion via USB and FireWire
* iLife ’06, Mac OS X Tiger

Now I have to figure out how I'm going to come up with $600.00 to $800.00 for this new piece of hardware that I've been drooling over for so long.

Ed, I watched patiently, refreshing my browser every few minutes to see what Steve was gonna show us under the black tablecloth. I like the idea of a Intel based macMini... but $799??? Come the hell on, man. They should still be able to keep it in the sub $500 range. I mean, here we go, right back to losing the public's interest in Mac / OS X.
