I have a Mac – Look at my Mini!

Saturday, September 17th, 2005 at 7:28 am

I finally got around to buying me a Mac to test my stuff on and surf without the need of a bullet proof firewall and virus scanners slowing down the machine. As nobody was gratious enough to buy me one I got this older mini mac from a friend in Germany for £280 and added the keyboard/mouse for £15 via ebay and the monitor for £180 including VAT and P&P. No more begging for Mac checks from me :-)
