I'm expecting a call from Apple tomorrow to seal the deal...
...unless I bottle out at the last minute... again...
Funny you should mention that.... I don't know if it was the Mac mini, but something I purchased reminded me of the smell of my Amiga 500 when I bought that about 20 or so years back... Those were the days.... Amazing how the sense of smell can really take you back in time....

That's invariably the problem with anything that's discretionary.
But if you join my SETI@home team for a week (to show us how fast it runs), I'll be in London at the end of APRIL and I will buy you a pint or three

I just got the 2008 Octo for the business price of $1899. I usually keep my computers for awhile, I don't really swap them for newer models. I figure for as long as i keep computers its not that expensive over time, a few hundred bucks a year. I doubt I'll never ever need all that power, and i could expand the memory and hard drives, so its a keeper.
My quad arrived yesterday. Love it so far, but still in that transferring-everything-over stage. You'll be glad you pulled the trigger.
That was one of my arguments to myself (I do that sometimes...
)It'll last a loooong time I keep saying to myself....while trying to escape from the tight fitting white jacket...
But of course. Anyone know of a nice pub in London where I can get a pint of Wadworth 6X bitter?
-hh
Get your finger off my trigger, I am doing it as well!
Education discount on the quad is 2299. Just waiting to hear if it will take more than 8GB's.
Also trying to find an earlier quad 2.8.

You're buying a computer and the vendor calls you?
Yeah. In the UK, or at least in my experience, if you go to the Apple Online store and spec up a Mac Pro, then save the basket to your account, Apple often call you and say they "maybe can do som£thing for you"
Yeah, they did that with me - Twice, because I changed the spec!
I think they must have an alarm or a big flashing light go off in their sales office whenever anyone saves a Mac Pro to their basket!!!
"Here's another person with too much money" - whoop whoop!!
