Well I have used my Mac Mini quite a bit. I still find it more convenient to work in windows. I hate to say it but the OS has not really grown on me that much.
I have not seen were I can really do anything smarter in OS X then windows. The main things I do like about it though is how easy it is to install and un-install applications. I like the mouse but otherwise it is a computer.
I am sure I will be crucified by the Mac zealots but I even find doing podcast on the Windows machine is much easier than the Mac. Simple reason is and it’s a secret that Apple probably does not want getting out, the audio amplifiers inside all Macs are set at a fixed amplification level and you have to drive the heck out of the audio input on most Macs to get the audio levels correct.
Heck the mini does not even have a microphone input and while using the Griffin iMic and trying to record I get annoyed after about 30 seconds due to the audio delay being fed to my headset.
Don’t get me wrong the mini was a lot of bang for the buck but after hearing my friends talk about how amazing the Mac was I am still wondering what they are talking about it’s a computer.
So the question now becomes will I upgrade to Tiger. I suppose if the mini will handle it I will, just because I am a geek. I have finished learning OS X so I might as well. [Yahoo]
