Ha! 8.5? You're in the memory ghetto.

Come back when you've got 16GB.

My machine is utterly, utterly maxed out. Couldn't take any more memory if it tried.

A massive 1GB.

Meanwhile Apple buy Cups

Cue posts on OSNews with questions like, "What do Apple want Cups for?" and "Is there an open source alternative?"[/url]

If it's tactile enough I'd be up for one of those, my main one is getting a little grotty these days and isn't quite as positive as it could be.

I love the fact that they have put basic iTunes controls on there.

(saying that I bought a mighty mouse when they were available and have yet to take it out of the box)

Not seen it mentioned here before, but Intel Mac Pros smell of skunk weed.
Anyone else noticed this?

Well they're aimed at artsy types, innit?

A Mac Pro update won't occur until the new chipsets ship. MacBook Pro
has been updated; a Santa Rosa MacBook could come out but with the
recent update but I think they will wait a bit longer.

So that leaves the iMac and Mac Mini. That aluminium keyboard does appear
to be a prototype so I think a new iMac with a similar look is most likely.

What will they do about the Mac Mini? It's very poor value now, Dell have
a box on sale today with quad-cores and 2GB for only a few quid more than
the bottom of the range Mini. It was a reasonably priced computer when it
came out but now other than the size the Mini has nothing to recommend it.
With the Apple TV handling the beside the TV duty what is the small size for?
A desktop with a laptop CPU and hard drive results in a computer that is
unattractive to switchers. Kill it or replace it.
