I have been an omni-platform user, Windows, OS X and Linux user for some time now. I love different things about each platform and loathe just as much as I like about all three. The release of the Mac Mini at MacWorld really made me wonder if Apple made good move in jumping into the low range market. I decided the best way to see was to compare the Mini to my primary box, a similar system in specifications and price.

My 1.25Ghz PowerBook has served me welll - it is my sole computer. I do web development using all of Macromedia's bloatware, Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, along with Photoshop all running in unison. In addition, Watson, Safari, OmniWeb, Text Edit, Preview, Notebook, iTunes, iChat, Fire, Fetch, Mail, CocoaMySQL, MySQL, Address Book, and iWork (now called iBiz) are usually all running too.
In school as a student of Computer Animation, way back in '98, we were stoked to be running SoftImage and 3D Studio Max (yechh!) on 300mhz P3's with 128 megs 'o RAM. That was a smokin' set up.
Granted, with OS X, RAM is huge - I myself will be upgrading from 512 to 1.25 GB's as soon as possible - (the kind folks at my local Apple store allowed me to test my set up with a Gig chip swapped in for one of my 265'ers - what a difference!!!!)
This Mac Mini will be a great machine.
