I’m proud to announce the arrival of a new bundle of joy to our family… the Mac Mini. Yes, “mini me” was turned on and set up at 10.30am this
morning, and is happily pootling away on my PC’s monitor. The PCs are somewhat put out at being disconnected from their only monitor, but we don’t
really consider them part of the family anyway…

Mini me joins evinrude (g5), girlie (imac), hiho, ichipod, pinkiepod and pauliepod (ipods) to make our lovely apple family complete. Mini me will be used to
play movies and tv shows recorded via eyetv, and has the advantage of being able to be plugged into the bedroom TV, as that one is also a computer monitor. No
longer will I have to sit at my desk to catch up on ugly betty, desperate housewives, CSI, house, medium… er, the list is quite long.

The only thing that is a slight let down is the fact that the top of the mac mini would have been a really useful lightbox. Why didn’t they think of that
when they made it? They’ve really missed a trick there.
