Well spoken, Diablo. But I think you're deceiving yourself (if only by a little bit perhaps) if you have hopes one day and those hopes are not met the next day, and you don't have any negative emotions. I just don't think it's possible for you to protect yourself from disappointment.

And I do agree with you that when one finds themselves influenced negatively by an inanimate object, you need to take walk away from the thing for a while. The difference is I'm not frustrated at an inanimate object here. I'm frustrated at the product managers at Apple who have put the Mac mini (and the entire idea of a low-cost headless Mac) on the back burner. As good as Apple is doing now, they could be doing better by paying attention to potential buyers like me.

Anyway, I don't want this to be a big psychological discussion. I'm just tired of Apple continuing to neglect a long-neglected segment of the product line. The reason it upsets me is because it affects me.
