Sounds good.

I'll probably get laughed at for this but here goes: Does Apple ever do any promos, sales, coupons, things of that nature? Maybe I see something around Black Friday that turns my head? Etc. ?

Nice!

And now I have to ask this: I've looked around a bit and shy of DIY options, this Mac Mini seems like a fairly unique product in the market. The only other thing I've seen like it off the top of my head was the Dell Zino, which gets a lot of mixed feedback. Am I seeing that right?

You mean take the innards from a laptop, package them in a small form factor case, and charge a premium for them, then yes :)

^^ I chuckled. :)

If you mean a small form factor computer that just works, then you are wrong because the Dell does not fit that description.

Zino definitely has a mixed track record. I wouldn't get it myself.

If I do it this is what I'd be doing it for myself. An Ipod touch I take it? All Apple?

Yes, iPod Touch. There's an app that makes it easily control iTunes on a Mac via wifi. Is it just called Remote? I think there's a couple of options there. There's several people here that use it that way, I'm sure they can help.

You can control it with the remote app or go all out and use one of the VNC apps like iteleport. The VNC app is kind of overkill unless you already have it for other purposes. They haven't updated the remote app since it was released but it works fine.

Didn't MSI used to have a small desktop, too? I know HP did, but it was high-end, so the price was not comparable.

Yeah, MSI Nettop, Windbox, and others. HP was the Firebird.

But I don't think any of those are still on the market, per se (I.E. anything but old stock being sold).

There's some of those and then there's this: fit-PC2 <- That's unbelievable!

I don't want to derail a Mac thread obviously but it's pretty clear to me at least there's a lot of options out there to do what I might want to do here at some point. :)
