Bye Bye Mac Mini
After 4 1/2 years of use sat under my TV as the media hub for my living room, it was time to say good bye.
I bought the Mac Mini in March 2005 not long after the ground breaking piece of hardware from Apple was announced. This was my first venture into being a Mac owner, and my very first Apple product.
Equipped with an Apple wireless Keyboard and mouse, the Mac Mini was perfect for watching movies, playing music via iTunes and surfing the Internet on a large LCD TV connected to a surround sound system.
Having found the joys of using a Mac so pleasurable, it then led me on to purchase numerous iPods over the years and eventually to the iMac that I have today.
Sadly the original G4 Mac Mini was starting to show its age, and creak under the demands of today’s software. It just was not up to the job of playing HD content, as it would stutter it’s way through films.
Also as more and more software was being developed primiraly for Intel based Mac’s my G4 Mac Mini was starting to get left in the dark. And with Snow Leopard just launched last week, the Mac Mini’s days are well and truly numbered.
Luckily the Mac Mini has found himself a new owner and a new home.
