Thanks for the advice!

Okay to the Linux guy I perhaps did go OTT there on Linux, sorry, the thing is I work with applications that do not work on Linux at all and the equivalents are not in the same league. I didn't really like WINE. So I got frustrated to heck with it. But in the sense of it as an OS it is actually good (and I did learn a lot about the OS) but I don't think it is as good as the Windows or Mac offerings. But I am sorry for the comment on Linux it was a little insensitive to Linux users.

This is why I like Mac because I can actually achieve a lot of what I do on Windows on a Mac. Although not everything; I still have the trusty windows box here (patting it) and it is still my friend. But Mac OS X is my new friend. I know X is said ten now - what a nut I was asking the shop assistant if I was getting that EX OS (X = XP???). :-) Wondered why he looked at me funny. He could have said I was going around all that day phoning friends telling them I had OS EX. As windows users they never knew I was wrong until I got to a Mac user. Then I found out and was cringing for the next few days when my friends asked me how EX was going.

I guess I will not be 100% Mac user but at least Mac pulled me over and I am a massive windows fan. Windows jokes, windows jokes get them all out. If Apple can do that to me I think it must be easier to get others. I have already started a chain reaction of Mini's to be sold by showing mine to my friends lol. I think the comment on using the Mac more and more over time is the way things might go for me.

So I am still happy with the Mac Mini, in fact I am ecstatic. It has pride of place on my desktop next to my Windows machine. I mean my Windows machine is talking fine to the Mac but it can get grumpy at times. It is scared it will lose my attention. I have reassured it I am still using it but it doesn't like it when the Mac shows off.

Thanks for the advice guys all taken in and acted upon.
