As some of you may know, Apple released (officially) their new $499 Mac
mini today. Firewire, USB, VGA, hard drive, wireless/bluetooth
support, etc. in a TINY 2.9lb package. It's the closest thing to a
modern CoCo I've seen -- just tiny. Plug up your existing keyboard,
mouse (USB, else with an adpater) and monitor and go. A $500
Unix-based machine with a slick GUI. Elegant.
The $500 PCs have always been ugly to me -- huge boxes, ugly plastic,
etc. usually taking up more space than a CoCo setup!
I saw one in person today -- very impressive little machine. (I have a
20" iMac G5 at home, and a 2003 series PowerBook I am using right now.)
I just love the form factor.
Does anyone know of any other tiny and cheap machines (i.e. in the
price range of a CoCo with disk drive -- $500) out there?
