Duane on Macs

To quote Mark Twain, “The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated“.  Apparently this can also apply to the Mac Mini.

If this is true, what would you like on the next version? I can think of a few things.
4 USB Ports with room enough to attach flash drives
Target Mode for USB
eSATA Interface
400 MB FireWire
Video capable of driving 30″ monitors
up to 320 GB hard drive
up to 4 GB RAM
Smaller Form Factor achieved by eliminating the optical drive but letting the Mini use the Air’s external Optical Drive

I use Minis in my training classrooms and as test servers. I have one dedicated for Server 2003 and Active Directory testing. Several of my customers use them as workgroup servers by booting off external 3.5 inch drives and in one case a Drobo.

Personally, I love the Mini and hope it doesn’t go away for a very long time.
