The Mini form factor is suitable for 99.9% of what we use computers for, and it's so small, so good on electricity, and so compatible with everything that it IS really a total no-brainer. Fuck PCs, and all that crunching and grinding and fan noise. The Mini is near dead silent, despite having a tiny fan, and takes up as much room as a stack of 6 CDs on the desk. Plug it into an LCD TV, and you have an instant (wireless networked) media center PC/TV.

I've finally come to the conclusion that I will pay for the modest privilege of saving my precious time and brain for my real job, and my life, and screw jerking off PC hardware configuration nightmares. It's just not fucking worth it. The Apple shit just works, and you can just get back to life.

Simplify.

I agree. I always recommend Macs to my computer illiterate family. Like you said, they work 95% of the time, they are dead simple, and I don't have to deal with my families questions and the crap that computer illiterate people do to PCs to make them stop working.
