x2. Really, why don't you start your own thread - "Apple sucks", or something else to that effect. I respect what you say, but it's really like you've come to a NRA meet and are preaching gun control...

We've come here to take a look at other people's Macs, right?

Got it, you're a troll. You realize this is a mac thread right? If you don't need firewire, don't need bit perfect digital audio, don't need a reliable and well supported unix based operating system, don't care about the benefits of OSX, don't mind having to be always aware of the threats viruses pose, don't can't about size, etc, then there's no reason to get a mac mini. If any of those things is useful to you, then the HP isn't gonna help you. As someone who has spent the last 15 years supporting other people's computers, I can tell you I'm glad I don't have to worry about that at home.

I AM NOT BASHING APPLES!!!! ACTUALLY READ WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON BEFORE.
someone posted a mac
other person said sell it for a mini
i said there are alternatives
people asked like what??
i posted a link
then they said mac was better
i said i believed it wasn't (it has not been in my experience, my macs sucked.)
i came back later and 100 people were telling me im a mac basher. I AM NOT. i am sick of apple fanboys who think that people who dont like macs are mac bashers. im not saying they are worthless pieces of ****. i just said that to the mac mini in that price range there is an alternative that may seem better to others for certain uses. THAT IS ALL.

Right here. Listen, I do understand you did not just jump in "bashing" Macs. True, like that nobody here is an "Apple fanboy". It is just that "Post pics of your Mac" thread is not a good place to suggest alternatives to Macs!.. gautam, I am still assuming you simply wanted to be helpful and got upset that people won't listen... Let's leave it at that.

hehe... you know you can change the acceleration of your mouse pointer.

However, that is about the correct size mouse pad I need for my parents.
