I was at the keynote this morning. It sucked waiting in line for 2 hours beforehand to get it, but it was worth it.

I want one of everything new.

I own a Mac, and it's my primary computer unless I want mobility, in whoich case I use my work laptop. In fact, I have NEVER bought a PC. Funny how I still have 3 of them at home, though.

I am using a mac desktop in my digital arts class now. Not sure which one it is but its big, and has a holy case. I hate the thing. Everything is ass backwards compared to windows lol. And the mouse is the worst one i have ever used, its so slim that your thumb and pinki always get in the way of it moving.

If its silver, it sounds like a G5. If you dont learn to love it I'll be surprised. The mouse does suck.

I am a Windows guy...but I also love the Mac, especially after OS X.

I am an ex-Xerox employee, used and had access to the technology before either one of these platforms were thought of or "stolen" .

Then use a different mouse. Duh...
I was assimilated to Windows/DOS because engineers (and my employers at the time) don't use Macs. Although I did survive my whole engineering undergrad w/ a Mac Plus. Luckily I had a friend w/ a Mac II and SoftPC who did conversions for me.

The Mac Mini looks cool, I'd be tempted to come back. I can use my Plasma as the display...

that would be cool.

My boss has decided to get 3 of the faster Mac minis. One for each desk. Lucky I still have one slot left on my 4-port KVM switch.

Now I just need to keep on him to order an Xserve G5 with RAID.

Yes it does.

Adapters are cheap, too.
