Though the Mac Mini is a good value at- what? – $599? – you’d be hard-pressed to get a comparable monitor to go with the Mini at the $899 range. Still, I remember what I paid for my Rev. A Bondi iMac ten years ago, so anything is a value now.

Yes people were all getting hyped up (as usual) about Apple products and we thought that the white line had been banished long ago. In addition, the grammar posed in the newsletter was a little misleading, enough to possibly indicate that somewhere there was a 17″ Alu iMac. Granted, I don’t think any people truly thought it would happen, but then again many people didn’t think a lot of things would happen with Apple this past decade…
