When I heard about the Mac mini. I was very interested. So, when I came into some extra cash, I decided to get one. Just got it this past weekend. Hook up was a breeze. Power, USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor. Hooked up to a standard monitor with the adapter. Powered up and after welcome screens and answering a few questions. Like location etc.... I was at the desktop. I got it with Airport. I wanted to go wireless. After two hours, I finally decided to temporarily broadcast my SSID. Then I could see my WAP. For some reason my ASCII pass phrase would not work. So, I had to enter the hex key for the WEP. Bingo! I got online. Then I managed to get Firefox installed. Got a chat client, IRCle. Got that going OK. The latest MAC OS, Tiger, does not come with Stuffit for expanding files. I had a "SIT" file that needed Stuffit. The MAC was trying to open it with the MS word demo! LOL. That got me totally lost and confused. Thanks to GOOGLE, I finally found STUFFIT to expand my file. After about an hour.
So, That's where I am. Do I like it? Yes, once you get used to things such as no right clicking, with a MAC one button mouse, it's really is pretty easy to navigate around the desktop. Makes me feel like a real NEWBIE again. Which is not always bad. Frustrating as heck but, not bad. :-).
Stay tuned for updates.
