Only remaining point of curiosity is what version the 2010 Mac Mini gets after installing its 10.6.4 update, which I could answer myself if I have a reason to download the update. Like, say, I get a new Mac Mini. Step away from the Buy button. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

Tempting innit? I'm waiting to see what the next Pro looks like. I was going to fling this one at the home cinema, drive it with an iPad and buy a shiny new Pro. The mini option arrives and starts me on a road of being saner. Mini at the cinema, keep this one, and wait for a v2 iPad. -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248

For me, i'm waiting for version 2 of the iPad myself, just because I don't think you get much for you're money right now from the perspective of a blind user. I'm guessing the updated version will have camera, but i'm also hoping more memory and a faster proc.

I deffo won't buy until the latest is > 4x performance of what I have. This is a 2.6GHz 1,1 with 4870 graphics and it still ain't /that/ shabby. On the subject 10.6.4 they were not lying about full screen mode in Aperture. It is /almost/ usable, which is a great step forward. Well, it is pretty OK really. The only thing it still does seriously wrong is brushes don't work on the second monitor. Aperture seems much faster overall as though it is using the graphics card more betterer. errk! Am I talking myself into an expensive upgrade? -- To de-mung my e-mail address:- fsnospam$elliott$$ PGP Fingerprint: 1A96 3CF7 637F 896B C810 E199 7E5C A9E4 8E59 E248 |
