I am just unboxing mine as well. I noticed a couple of things it comes with:

1) A DVD install disc for iLife 05
2) An install disc for OS 9

Argh! I don't understand why inline images are bad?! We all want to see pics of the new Mini, so geez these guys should lighten up. It's not like it's hosted on MacNN's servers. /rant

At any rate, OS 9? Makes sense I suppose, the architecture is old enough for it.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a new toy to play with...

Gee, I'm so sorry that we make it so difficult for you by forcing you to click links to see pictures.

But the fact is that most people run their screens at 1024x768 or lower, and don't enjoy side scrolling.

Side-scroll in this window? Or side-scroll in new window? Hmmm....


I *could* understand making a 800x600 (or even 640x480) pixel limit for inline images, that'd make more sense.

Sorry for off-topic, enjoy the newness!

If you read my later post, I said inline pics should be under 800x600.

poll time,
I agree. I've been at 1600x1200 (or more) since about 2 years ago. That statement is almost like saying we play video games at 800x600...right, like that's even a benchmark anymore.
