You may be surprised later on as the same notices are being sent out in Germany to customers that ordered the new items and some of them have actually received the items a day or two later...I think they are just being careful to keep the expectations down in case there are stampedes to get the new kit. I sure hope these two new products do absolutely 'fly' off the shelves. It is very likely after news about another Win virus: <http://news.zdnet.co.uk/internet/security/0,39020375,39185051,00.htm> Found another interesting bit of info on the US Macworld site that the Mac Mini can be used in 'headless' mode (once the initial set-up is done and a few other things are controlled). Check here for more info: <http://www.macworld.com/2005/01/news/macminifaq/> Under the point 'Can I use the Mac Mini as a headless server?' Also some other interesting reading (about what order and how the mini internals are layered) to bridge the time until you get your Mini :-) can be found at: <http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/editors/2005/01/miniopen/> Still managed to suppress the urge to buy one but my resistance is slipping...best log out and go outside or something!
