The Mac Mini is not dead

The Apple Mac Mini is not dead, according to a report by MacRumours.

Does anyone own a mac mini?

Yeah plenty of people do.

They are a good Apple “gateway” for people who already own a monitor and keyboard, mouse etc.

Then usually get upgraded to an iMac or MacBook.

What you use them for? I had one but I sold it after I could find no use for it.

The original was used to record TV but has since been relegated, seeing as how DSTV has been fired. It now just hangs out and tries to look cool.

The middle runs OS X Server (Lion, IIRC) and is really my home Mac server - well, it was and is used from time to time when I need to diagnose things on my network, especially bandwidth eaters.

The newest one is being used by my daughter, for whatever the hell kids these days do with computers. I'd like to bring it back home and let it run my media center instead of the HP that currently does it but she seems attached to it.
