W2K is really running smooth on my iBookG4 1.2GHz with VirtualPC7. I can even establish a VPN-connection to my office-server... So with your mini you can certainly run your prog too...
Sorry about your car. Ha, I'd like to drive those trucks too - but this country obviously is to small for such an adventure. My little Fiat, which fits really nice into every small space for parkin' in the city would certainly look like an an accordion after such a crash. And it's a rusty place here at the baltic cost too...
It's from 1989 ... (milage 180k
)

Soo, on the topic of the Mini... I managed to pick one up for free from a friend that got it for free from another friend. Ha!
He was headed out to Japan for the next two years in the Marines and hasn't used it in a while as its only purpose was to hold his iTunes library and sync his iPod touch so he let me have it since I like Macs.
It's a mostly bone stock original Mac mini 1.42 GHz model, 80GB HDD, has 1GB of RAM installed, came with a pretty clean install of Leopard on it that looks like it was installed in 2011, no AP or BT however.
Haven't decided exactly what to do with it, but I'm sure I can figure something out as long as it's wired in somewhere.
Also, nice trucks y'all. I've been pretty much stuck to one brand my whole life but might make a change next time, we'll see. My first truck was a 2004 Toyota Tundra, then I moved to a 2009 5.7L Tundra that I had for 5 years and just picked up a '16 Tacoma in December. I mostly love it but it's been to the dealer 3 times already to have things fixed and it's there now too. Mostly cosmetic or annoyance issues like fender flares not properly attached, gauge cluster replacement due to resetting trip meters, squeaky as all heck leaf springs, etc. Sure is fun though, despite it's lack of power compared to my old V8 Tundra. Little better on gas though (17-18 MPG vs 13-14).
And the old gal
And older gal for good measure
I'd consider an F150 EB or tuned 5.0 in the future but for now the midsize market is on fire and it's a great fit for me and my garage. Though I could see myself getting another Tundra in the future if they ever decide to update the poor thing. A 2016 isn't far off from my 2009, same engine, same transmission, same frame, same MPG, just different looks.

You're quite the Toyota fan! I almost ended up with a late 90s/early 2000s Tacoma but at the time people were wanting ridiculous prices for them so I ended up with my 98 GMC k1500 with the 5.7 Vortec. My dad was a huge Toyota fan and owned many 80s/90s pickups and one or two Tacomas before he bought the blue dodge below brand new in 2003.
Then when that truck was wrecked I bought my dad's old 2003 Ram 2500 ST with the 5.7L that is worse on gas than the good ol 350, but does have so much more power and I now have a family truck that I like! My dad ended up buying a red 2016 Ram 2500 cummins.

Nice dude! I am a Toyota fan myself. My '93 4Runner's HG finally blew at 225k, I'm doing a full rebuild. Just waiting on the engine shop to be finished with the block/heads.Soo, on the topic of the Mini... I managed to pick one up for free from a friend that got it for free from another friend. Ha!

I installed Leopard server on my G4 mini some days ago (got it at a very low price in ebay) and now it's a really usefull toy!
