Hello y'all,

Bought a anew Aluminum Mac Mini awhile back w/o any Restore DVD's. I thought I could just ghost over a copy of 10.6.4 from a different Mac.

Nope, the ethernet jack DOESN"T owrk, nor does the SDXC slot. Kinda annoying actually. Are Geniuses cool about letting you image restore DVD's?

thanks y'all

You can buy them from Apple. Last time I had to do that, they were about $16 each, and there are 2. How did you buy a new computer without discs?

$16? Lucky. They charge stupid money for them over here in the UK.

You'd be surprised how many people never figure out what's in those little paper sleeves before throwing away the original packaging.
