What did you pay for it?
Which model (specs) did you buy?

2995 SEK at OnOff 
The saleswoman wrote in the words "sista ex" (last one) in the computer, so I believe that this really was the last remaining PPC-mac they had in the whole country. Only x86 from now on 
It has G4 1.33 Mhz, 512 mb of RAM and 40 Gb of harddrive. _________________

Dear lord, I knew the PPC chips were lagging but that's awful!_________________

Erm, The Intel Mac mini starts at 1.5GHz.
The big difference is the Cache (4x bigger) and the bus (4x faster).

I think he meant that tomazkid mixed up ghz with mhz
Even a ppc would be slow at 1.33mhz :)Last edited by Tomas on 22-Aug-2006 at 11:51 PM.

I remember when Apple pushed the "megahertz myth." It's amazing no one gives them flak for it. _________________

Got me a dual core intel based Mini a while back. Good little box. Can run windoze as well but I don't see any point when OS X is just so much nicer. Gets along well with my A1 boxes as well.  _________________

Take a pill, please.

Welcome to the club!
HDD sounds a tad small though at 40GB, I thought they started at 80GB in Mac minis, which is what my G4 mini had when I got 18 months back, maybe that was an option? Anyway...
You'll be wanting a 30" Cinema soon . (the good old upgrade bug) |

Ummmm, not sure I'd be willing to swap OSX for OS4 in the current state of play - I think I'd rather OSX it does all I want and actually has quite an Amiga-like feel. Maybe once OS4 has some more useful apps though...
My Mac mini is my favouritess computer ever...
...after my A600 of course
 OSX rocks
