If you look closely you'll notice only icons and command keys for MacOSX.
As a Mac user myself, I can wholeheartedly and unapologetically laugh in the face of all your virus worries. Really, like a Santa Clause, I caught the Trix Rabbit, you just got hit in the nuts with a football, the Three Stooges are hosting a Pie Tasting at a stuffy country club, Laugh.
Have a nice time with yer spyware, and virii, and ddon;t forget to wash your hands, keyboard and mouse with Purell. Feel free to join the laughter anytime.
As a mac/unix user from the old school (CMU, Lisa, 1983, bitches!). I'm laughing my ass off at the scramble for reasons this mac doesn't exceed every fence post sitter's demands, worries, and fears. hahahhahaha
OK, enough laughing. some info for those of you that were mired in windows patches when everyone else learned this:
1) Why is ram so expensive, and can i install it myself? Its so expensive because apple charges for ram like its not a user installable part. Just like an airfilter in a car, if you don't know how to do it, you'll have to pay a premium to have someone do it for you. While i don't know if the mac mini is bolted shut, or not, i do know that as soon as 1 nerd with a digital camera gets one, there'll be a how-to online.
2) Can it do media center things? In case you missed it, this thing can edit HDDV, hello! Yes, of course it can, there is a lot of software mostly collected in 2 places: versiontracker.com and macupdate.com, my personal favorite is VIDI, freeware viewer software for a formacTV device i have.. Please show us, Windows Fans, editing HD, DV, whatever, on a $500 dell, please?
3) There is no software! Come on, read the last post, search for something and you'll find there is more then enough software for nearly any purpose, barring native OSX software, any and all X11 apps will work too.
Anyway, i'm being overcome with laughter just thinking about reading the posts made since I started composing this post, have fun with yer virii, spyware, bad patches, malware, and whatever else the windows world utterly tolerates if not encourages.
As always, us mac users are bemused by your particular choice of purgatory, but still welcome those of you who are awake long enough to realize what is happening as friends.
