Heres a cheaper way...

Use a library or internet cafe

Well I've completely given up on Amiga!

The screengrap from Matrix's 1st post is a blatant rip-off of MacOS X (not that I'm a Apple fan).

Basically AmigaInABox (although old now) with WinUAE would do just as good job as that AmigaOne.

I wouldnt refute that at all, except you have the lack of PPC support. I like the mac OS... within reason.... theres a lot about it i dont like, but then thats true of XP. Whats amazing about AmigaOS is its windows friendy and has a full CLI where as XP did away with that in favour of a much smaller "shell" in the litteral sense, and MacOS has no CLI at all which i find intensely disturbing.

Err, under what rock have you been for the last five years? Mac OS X has full unix base with shell, remote access, blah blah yada yada.

OOOOOoooooo000000oooo....... *peeps out from rock* ... its still a mac, call me in 20 years...... *finds his happy place again*

Lol,
finally Mac got a shell

Now THATS Retro lol ...... its also a case of apple actually listening to its customers Being a person that spends a good deal of time working in a shell, i find it a very handy thing to have in any OS.

Well, if you build an OS by taking Mach kernel (or rather the whole OpenStep) as basis, add some Net/FreeBSD parts and spice it up with loads of Free/Open source software it's kinda essential to have the shell along with the pretty GUI

Not that you actually need to use the shell to use OS X, but I haven't seen any usable GUIs for the more complex tools - yet.

Thing is, not many people both expanding machines these days. Most just buy the odd external device as and when they need.

It'll be interesting to see if the mini sells. Most of the press has been positive (with the obvious exception of The Times, which seems to hate everything Apple does).

(sorry, but there you have it, i had a bad experience with apple-mac's that cost me a job.... i hate them)

Get ready to hold your breath!

Me and a few of my friends were marveling at the Mini Mac - noting it is less succeptible to heat, which makes it a very good unit if one were to do a Live PA set. After my PC Upgrades, I'm getting a MiniMac and seeing if I can work Reason to being a lovely live pa computer.

That's basically why I wanted mine. =)
