That is not a nick name. Without a nick it will be called "mini Mac". Just like all my friends say "mini iPod" and not iPod mini about their players. We need something clever.

I suggest the McBoat-anchor. At $499 without keyboard, mouse, monitor, bluetooth or airport, that's exactly what it is, an expensive boat-anchor for a small boat.

MM = Micro Mac
or
TM = Tiny Mac
I could only be a true "mini" if it came in colors.

podMac, since it is tied so closely to the iPod conceptually and in many marketing respects

Seriously, when I look at the Mac mini and Netgear's routers, I can't help but think that I could pry off the top and see little fish packed inside.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Hobby-schmobby; I have a tricked out Cube too--1ghz, Geforce3, 80gb hd, 1.25gb ram. While the mini is cute and all, its not much of an upgrade, really. I'll pass and hold out for a proper G5
BTW, your site macminiforums.com isn't loading. Maybe DNS propogation.

- it's the first generation mini, so I would be a little more patient with the upgrades you're talking about. i don't think sonnet is going to start announcing new boards or anything just yet. i was discussing making it into either an in-car pc, a home audio/video unit, a smart home server, or if it all doesn't work out in this revision... then just a headless server.
- hmm, not sure what the problem is... I have a handful of people already registered and posting. the dns was set up the day of the keynote. what is the error you are receiving?

I meant a Power Mac G5..that's what I'm saving up for. I'm done pimping my Cube.
