I’ve FINALLY worked out what I want for Christmas; it’s just a shame nobody who’s likely to buy me stuff can afford it!
Apple have announced the new model’s of Mac’s, today, and guess what …
They’ve SERIOUSLY upped the Mini, by doing a Server version!
Now, I’ll be serious, here, I really wouldn’t know what to do with a server, if I had one.
Well …
There’s probably a few ideas, given ten minutes, a pencil, and a quick natter with Movie Night Adrian, who genuinely knows his stuff when it comes to the ’net.
But here’s my point; off bat, I’d not have a use for a Mac Mini with 5 USB ports, a Firewire 800 port, capable of dealing with two monitors, and two — TWO — 500 gigabyte hard drives.
That’s one whole Terabyte*!
Honestly, I wouldn’t.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t WANT one!
Oh, Boy!
* Right, now I know Tim, and a few other friends of mine, wouldn’t have the first idea, there; but just to give you a rough — very rough — idea, one kilobyte is 1024 characters. 1024 of them makes up a megabyte, which is about minute’s worth of music. 1024 megabytes make up a gigabyte; most commercial DVD’s are between four and seven gigabytes in size, depending on what’s on them. The hard drive on my 2007 model Mini is 120 gigabytes, so you know. The newer models are bigger!! And I want one!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
