Ok. This new Mac Mini looks pretty cool. I currently own a Windows PC and I want to get an iPod mini and the mac mini together, using the mac for storage of photos, dowloading and storage of mp3s, and general fun stuff like Garage Band and web surfing (since my PC seems to inhale every virus and spyware known to man), and just use my PC for my graphic design work and photo editing (I already have Illustrator and Photoshop on my Windows PC). I'm a freelance Graphic Designer and I work at a newspaper as a photo tech, so as much as I would love to have a Power Mac dual G5, I just don't have the funds to spend on that at this time. I would just rather ride the Windows setup until the wheels fall off, so I need to free up some space for the work I do.
One of the many questions I have, is that I am hearing that there is no audio in on the mac mini. That sucks because one of the main reasons I want it is for playing my guitar and using my microphone for Garage Band. What can I do to get around this? Can I link the mac mini to my PC and record through it (I doubt it) or is there another way. I did hear that you can use a webcam with an audio in that plugs into a usb.
I'm confused as to why Apple would not include an audio in knowing how popular Garage Band is. Please help.
BTW, if I had spyware and or viruses on my Windows PC, would it be unsafe to let the Mac and Windows PCs talk to eachother?
Thanks,
Ra!
