This is about the new Mac mini, as an added ser­vice to you and the big inter­net cable in the ocean I’m not post­ing the pic­ture.… Any­way, since switch­ing (get­ting a power­book) I’ve been feel­ing the urge to get a non-laptop Mac; for file stor­age, as an extra play-computer — and for stay­ing con­nected, turned on or what­ever when I’m car­ry­ing the lap­top around.
