Greetings all... I've been using PC's for the last 12 years or so and have always been intrigued by Macs. I almost bought one a few years back but passed b/c I needed compatibility with my work computers. The Mrs. and I bought a Dell earlier this year and couldn't be more disappointed. The dang thing seems to be running in quicksand and has problems if I have Firefox, Musicmatch, and Word open at the same time. B/c of this I'm looking at making the big switch.
A little info... We don't play games and will be using the computer to browse the web, send e-mail, edit photos (hopefully some video) listening to music, and working on my website (www.toefuzz.com Shameless plug). We are looking at the Mac Mini and are pretty excited about it. I've priced the 1.42 mhz unit with the upgraded ram (512) and the Bluetooth periphs. We will need to buy a monitor, but for $300 I can get a decent 17 inch monitor from New Egg. I figure the total price will be around $1100.
Now, I know next to nothing about Macs. A friend walked by a few minutes ago and noticed me doing some research and said I should wait until the middle/end of April b/c a new O.S. will be released. Is this true?
I guess what I'm asking, is do you think the Mini is right for us and should I wait a month or so to purchase it?
