Mac mini on the way

I took the plunge and ordred a Mac mini to power the living room. It’s not the perfect media center PC, but at least the best on the market. Especially now that I’ll be able to dual-boot into Windows for the rare case that I need use it. The deciding factor was definitely seeing Front Row in action at a friend’s–almost the perfect way to go through music. It also picks up the music of whoever has their computer nearby, so that will be fun at parties (bring your laptop!).

I bought a build-to-order mini last night (1GB ram, 120GB HD) and Apple said it would ship in 2-3 days. It shipped about six hours later and I’ll have it in a few days. Impressive considering I went the free shipping option.
