Apparently the loud noise I heard at 5 in the morning on Friday was something to be concerned about.
The damage wasn’t all that bad and no one was hurt so I guess I should count my blessings.

Ok, the Mac mini is cool, very cool. So I thought about plunking down some cash on one right away (like right after the Keynote right away). Then I thought, better wait, the 1st version of anything tends to be a bit buggy. So my G4/400 will have to wait a bit before it’s replaced by another machine as my desktop Mac.
Just for kicks, I went to the Apple Store and I figured see how much it’d cost me. Of course, I’m in for the 1.42GHz/80GB model at $599 base. I might as well add a SuperDrive (+$100), I definitely want both the AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth options (+$129), and I’m not sure how many RAM slots this puppy has so I should just max-it-out (1GB) at the factory (+$425). That brings my total to … $1,253.00, Yikes!
Ok, the minis are still cool. but once you start building them up, the price easily runs away, shooting past the $600 “just in sight” range to over the $1k “I might need to think about that one a bit” mark with a few add-ons. I’m going to wait a while and see, perhaps I’ll end up getting a G5 after all.
