davidlevine and kateyule: I am a new immigrant to your country, and barely speak the language.
To everyone else: Well, I've been living off of $150 3rd-hand Dells from UW surplus for a while now. So after a hard squint at the fisc, we thought getting me a machine a bit more modern would be a useful piece of capital expense. (Let alone, it means we can hope I won't hog so much time onakirlu's quad-core Dell, my present to her last year.)
And, just because the price point is not bad, and it's the one major OS I haven't spent all that much time with personally... I decided to take a deep breath and get a Mac Mini.
Those of you who've known me for years are laughing quite hard now. You're welcome. :)
Mind you, I don't really expect to have fewer problems than other platforms from this move -- I just expect to have different ones. Perhaps that's a low bar to set, but we'll see.
