Yeah, my buddy the studio guy has a mini at home. Very cute. I'm thinking an iBook would be a great starter Mac since my desktop needs are well taken care of. I have a "server" I built that now has just over 1Tbyte of storage, a "beige box" Linux machine for most of my uses, an aluminum-cased, water-cooled, windowed, lighted Windows gaming machine I spent way too much time and money building, and enough parts and odds and ends to build probably 3 more machines. My wife has a machine I built with a very cool aluminum desktop case that fits perfectly on a shelf on her desk. Gigabit ethernet for wired connections, 802.11b/g for wireless, which includes a D-Link "media server" which streams content off of the server through my HT system. Criminy, I couldn't be more of a geek if I tried (he says as he unpacks his Motorola Razr which he begged his manager to approve, mostly because his friends already have them).
