If saving space and the Mac OS are dominating factors, then the new Mac Minis are a viable option, but your dollar will stretch much further with a budget Windows desktop." If the Mac OS is not your over-riding reason to buy a Mac...don't buy a friggin Mac!!! This is, essentially the WHOLE %...@%#& POINT!!11!!!! of the entire Macintosh line of computers. I don't care if they give it to me for free, a Windows system DOES NOT MEET MY NEEDS. A Bugatti Veyron is an awesome, superlative vehicle in a whole host of ways...and I was given one for free, I'd trade it in on a house and a car I could actually use. Moreover, look what they're comparing the Mini to...a desktop from Acer. A smallish desktop, but a desktop nonetheless. 10.4" (265mm) W x 12.4" (315mm) D x 3.9" (100mm) H A proper comparison would be to something like this <http://tinyurl.com/5csd3t >, which, oddly enuff, sells for about the same price as a mini. If your clients are happy with Windows, Dan, get 'em Windows.
