New Mac Mini w/Tiger
Tiger is working well here, big fan. New to Mac too. Ordered my Mini the day Tiger was released. 1.42G/1GB RAM/80GB/AP+BT. Please don't lecture - I have a great monitor/wireless kybd/mouse and the mini was for me for a bunch of reasons. Arrived from China Monday via FedEx with Panther preloaded and Tiger disk in box, I upgraded immeadiately. Very good performance on Tiger with most of my problems being small and having to do with my learning the MAC way and fumbling with Iphoto to get things set up the way I want and giving up my old Windows ways. I have 24G of music and 6G of pics loaded on an external 250GB drive-works fine. My biggest problem is that the OS has locked up a few times. Granted this is usually when I have about 10 things going on at once and have been hopping around from app to app, but I am unable to get it back when it locks up and am forced to power off/on. Feel like I'm doing something wrong when I do that. Overall the Tiger experience is great. Setup was so quick and I have done more config of equipment, networking, s/w install and setup with such success that I can't stop smiling about how good it feels to leave Windows behind. I've played with Mini's in the Apple store in Honolulu and am glad to have 1G of Ram - it really runs smoothly and VERY fast in my opinion.
Update: I should have mentioned how easy it was to network and copy files from my work (DELL) Laptop running Win XP - it took maybe five minutes. Same thing with so many other things that would have taken hours in my previous life.
