Well, actually I agree. Sorry - I was being a smart-ass.
BUT, this is Apple. Frankly I'm still surprised they offer the Mini - Apple has always known whats best for thier customers - even when the customers disagreed (and this is from an Apple fanboi of the highest order). The good news is that the imac can last for long enough to justify the cost (for home use), and the MacPro really is worth every penny - in my current split personality job I am working as a studio photographer, art director, designer (web, print, video, whatever), part time sys-admin (mixed network) AND bloody damned java (god I hate java) and web administrator. Previously I was running 2-3 boxes in my office, now I have one single 3g MacPro and do everything in one place. Parallels takes care of most of my Win/Linux needs - the only time I have to reboot into the dark side is to run Resin-Pro (Oh, it'll launch the server in Parallels - fat lot of good it'll do you).
But at home a headless iMac would be nice...
YES! If Bruce with his strained hybole and just absolutely horrific writing are gone maybe I can read Wired again! Seriously - Bruce writes like the tech version of the trash my 13 year old wanna-be-goth niece reads. Bad. Much bad.
Sooooo
Banks charge "Teller Fees" to use the teller, ATM fees to use the ATM, and now, "have your account phished and all your money stolen" fees to use the phone.
Free enterprise (with subsidized federal legislative assistance) rocks!
