Resistance was futile. I’ve finally ordered by iMac Mini and it should be arriving next week preinstalled with Tiger. It was time to replace an ailing Win2k box at home, and for $AUD1100, the time seemed right to take a look at Mac’s OS first hand.
Really looking forward to scoping out the Java support, and particularly taking some of my little SWT apps for a spin to see how things look and feel on a Mac. Apparently the Swing Look and Feel (done by Apple) is also very impressive.
I’ve ordered a pretty mimimum spec (512Mb / 40Gb / G4 1.25), since the main use for this box is Web surfing and email, and also as a “test everywhere” platform for my Java development work. But truth be told, I can’t wait to see the thing in action running some Java apps!
