In before lock. One, this the lounge. Second, other Tiger and Mac mini and even Tiger + Mac mini threads going on.
Figure this one will start to degrade soon and eventually fall apart, only for the detritus to be swept up a mod as we move merrily along.

This isnt any reason to lock this. I think you have to much time on your hands to be just posting Inbl posts

Why not buy one now, and have Tiger turn up on the 29th for $10?

I spent €200 on panther and iLife, only to find that my 600mhz G3 iBook couldn't cut it with Garageband.
Then the Minimac comes out for €500

In this thread, yes. But how would Macmall know? And who/what the hell is Macmall? What makes them an authority?

I'm not buying it either. None of the new features are worth $130 bucks to me.

If you think about it, when you buy a Mac mini, you are also paying for the operating system. So yes, you ARE buying Tiger.

Would that be Interrnet2?
For my next Mac I want it to be a G5.

Well my point is this...
Mac Mini = $629 plus GST/PST for a total of $717.06
and it comes with or soon will come with:
Tiger
iLife 05
AppleWorks
Quicken
For me to buy the software for my current mac I would be paying:
Tiger: $149.00
AppleWorks: $119.00
iLife 05: $99.00
Total: $418.38 with the taxes and thats not including Quicken either. So the Mac Mini is really only costing me $299.00
If you have a older Mac you might as well just buy a new Mini if you plan on getting all that software.

Who at MacMall is saying this, and why are they coming back? Switchers dissatisfied, DOA machines, warranty repair, what?

Since this thread is more or less +1 fodder now, I'll just go ahead and post this nice poster image I saw on MacDailyNews today. I'd like this poster, at about 1.5 meters tall, for my office.

I still would rather get it in the retail box. Then the applications are in their place and the OS is in another. I realize you still get the OS with the new computer if you wait, but it's all bundled together in the CDs.

I agree. I hate digging around in packages trying to find just one program. I wish they'd put individual installers for the bundled software. I had an update screw up World Book on the kid's iMac a while back, and I had hell finding and re-installing just that app.

This is actually the perfect time to do it-- get a Mini with 10.3 softwarer restore disks, AND a retail version of 10.4.
If you wait until after 10.4 is shipping installed on machines, you're stuck with the 10.4 restore disk.
