Mac Mini is online

I got my Mac Mini back today. Bliss. Airport Extreme/Bluetooth card for $99+tax. I decided to officially name the system “mini me”. I’m having fun already, though I got to get some sleep, and go back to school tomorrow… looking forward to the next time I get to play with my [...]

Mac Mini Getting Wired Up

Called the Apple Store this morning and they got a “limited quantity” of Mac Mini Airport Kits after all my waiting. Went there today and there were 2. So I got one and they took mini-me to get it installed. It should be done by tomorrow. Ends up being $99 + [...]

Mac Mini Wireless Upgrade

Just got off the phone with the Menlo Park Apple Store regarding getting my Mac Mini a Wireless Upgrade.
The card should come in soon (will call me when it’s in). They told me last week it should have been in sometime this week, so I assume that means it should be in relatively [...]

Qualified for a Mini Mac!

If above goes to processing, time to start researching a nice LCD display (likely 17″ or 19″), as [...]

More on the Mini

I mentioned it the other day. Now it looks like someone made a business plan out of it. Pretty cool idea. You could fit a few clients into 2U space. And cost effective.
Perhaps VPS (Virtual Private Servers) are a waste of time. Maybe this approach is better. This way, [...]

Free Mini Mac?

Gratis Internet (the folks who brought the Free iPod deal), appear to be running a Free Mini Mac deal.
Any takers?
They did deliver on the iPod, so I now know the company is legitimate. So any help is appreciated.

Mac Mini - Make Your Own Cluster?

Ok, I admitted to being a geek a long time ago, but here’s what I’m thinking:
Take Apple’s new Mac Mini, which is 2″ in height (slightly over 1U). Put several of them on a metal tray. Why? Because it can become a makeshift blade server. Granted your limited to Firewire, USB, [...]
