New Mac Mini notes

A picture named chicken.gifI bought a new Mac Mini today, it's my second, the old one is way slow and old and doesn't do the latest 802.11n tricks, and the disk is small. The new Mini is for the TV room and the old one will become a server. So now it's time to master VNC and Chicken of the VNC. This was a topic of discussion here on 11/20/06.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Ooops, it turns out the new Mac Mini does not support 802.11n. Oy. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
