OOo isn't better than Microsoft Office; certainly not on the Mac anyway.

I mean, begging the question of whether people will pay for a hard to upgrade Mac Mini when they already have a perfectly good PC...seems a bit arrogant. Oh wait, it's an Apple fanboy who posted. That explains it. I mean, sure, it's *possible* that some people will switch to Mac because of the Mini, but assuming that enough people will do so to change the shape of the market? Holy shit. Wasn't the Mac II supposed to do the same thing? And that one that looks like a fucking lamp? Whatever. I'm sure I'll get a billion angry replies to this post, but I don't care. I conceed the possibility that the Mac Mini will do what no other Mac has and give the PC a run for its money. However, I don't think it's very likely, let alone already established fact.
What's Keeping Me from Buying a Mini...

Is there Monitors... Sure I know that the whole point of the Mini is to connect to your existing monitor. But right now, I'm in the market to buy an entire set-up (as my current 20" CRT is dying). I don't really want to do the iMac, as it prohibits significant future updates... and their cheapest LCD costs 900 bucks!
So do I want a Mac? Yes.
I've been Wintel for the past 20 years, but forced my department to get me a dual 2-gig G5... I've been using it for the past year, and love it.
Will I buy the Mac? Still Unsure. I know I can get whatever LCD I want, but part of the whole Mac experience is to have a computer that doesn't look like ass...
So Steve, why the crap don't you sell a reasonably priced 17" LCD?
