I need to restore my Intel Mac Mini and I realized I lost the Install DVD. No worries I thought, I'll just buy one at my local Apple Store. But they don't carry them, they only have 10.4 Retail (PowerPC) because at the time 10.4 came out there was ONLY PowerPCs and all Intel Macs come with Installer DVDs. I asked the salesperson what I should do and he told me to "ask a friend for one". Not too many friends around these parts with Mac Mini Mac OS X Intel Install DVDs....

I heard the guys at the Genius would burn you a disk then and there. Call Apple - they may help. Somebody here could probably send you a copy too.
