Scott's Apple Mac Stuff

Here is where I want to talk about the Apple Mac -- most notably the Mac Mini. My first reaction to this mac was that is seemed inexpensive. Mac users tend to be fanatic and for good reason. The device works well. Mine was really loaded (Bluetooth entry devices, wireless 802.11g communications, expanded memory and the DVD burner) but still I was off and running in about 5 minutes.

Interesting still is that it is very small (less than 7" by 7" by 2") and runs a Unix varient at heart.

As a result, there has been a lot of chatter regarding the Mini, mods, hacks and that applies for the iPod as well. Some folks are embedding Minis in older all-on-one Macs to make a very unique device. I'l eventually like to write code for the Mac family, starting with widgets, which I think will code quickly, then going backwards to more portable UNIX scripts and perhaps older System 7 compatible code if old iron appears useful in my balloon, rocket, amateur radio and history interests.

I'll try to track my favorite Apple resources here.

Contact me if you find something of interest !!
