A Mac mini for me, please!
Ever since the advent of Mac OS X, I’ve been wanting to get a Mac, but just couldn’t justify the price. For some time now, I’ve been joking that my Linux workstation is “a poor man’s Mac,” but Apple has recently taken that joke away from me by releasing the new Mac mini, the first Mac that just about anyone should be able to afford. Priced at just ¥55,800 in Japan ($499 in the States), the “Mighty mini” has me thinking that a new computer might be in order—but hold the umeboshi, thanks.
On the other hand, I’m not at all dissatisfied with Fedora Core 3, the latest version of my flavor of Linux. Granted, it’s not quite as cool as a Mac, but it is considerably cooler than the world’s most ubiquitous OS—and less buggy, too!
With Linux getting better and better and Macs getting cheaper and cheaper, I can’t help but wonder how much longer the Dominance of Redmond can last.
