Clueless review of the Mini
http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/MacMini2.html


As for the style of the unit, it’s alright.  It reminds me of a ShuttlePC.  But since its sleek look comes at the expense of the parallel port, serial ports, the PS/2 ports and the drive bays, potential Mac mini buyers should ask themselves just how much utility they’re willing to sacrifice for style.  Oh, did I forget to mention that the Mini has no PCI slots either?  And no floppy disk drive?  Well, no wonder they got the unit to be so small.  No keyboard or mouse either.  Sorry, Kayla, daddy’s got to make another trip to Best Buy before you can play with your new computer.

1. You may have realized this...
But I think this article just might be a joke. :)

2. EDIT: The whole site is a joke site.

Nobody could be so clueless as to confuse the iPod shuffle's size and weight to the Mini, and still call himself a journalist/reviewer. He also complains about the lack of spyware, defragging, and spam utilities. He's not very funny, but I do think he's trying to be.

More edit...

Look at their Dell page. Also look at the Apple news...iPod shuffle si a choking hazard for 4 year olds, Fiona Apple sued by Apple Computer, etc.

Now, go back to their Dell page, and click on the link at the bottom that says..."maybe you should consider picking up a real computer."

Even the mother thanking her dead soldier son for ensuring her freedom to own an SUV is a joke. Tacky, unfunny, and in real bad taste, but a joke just the same.

4. I do like the Dell coffeemaker.
Us Mac people are like the only kid in high school without zits. We may be fortunate, but the kids with zits have that misery loves company, shared experience thing going on.
