My new Mac Mini
Reasons why I love my new Mac Mini:
It came in a cute box with a carry handle.
It played Royksopp and said "Bienvenue".
It told me how to connect to my Windows laptop and then copied my photos across without a problem.
It connected instantly to my DV camcorder and imported video without a single config screen.
It did the same thing with my still camera.
It lets me and my wife stay logged in at the same time without needing to close down each other's apps
It was quite cheap (for the spec, and for a Mac).
So far, my only problem is figuring out why transitions aren't working quite right in iMovie, but I'll save my judgement on that one until I can exclude my own stupidity from the equation...
Update: not my stupidity, but rather a stupid setting in iMovie that had defaulted to 29.97fps (US standard) rather than 25fps (Euro/UK standard). this took me a while to figure out, and I'm surprised that I had to fix this. but it's all working seamlessly now.
