Took the plunge...back on a Mac for the first time in 4 years.
Decided to pass up on the Mini, so got a $300 G4/400 Sawtooth on eBay and upgraded it to 640MB RAM, added a Radeon 9000 Pro videocard, an 80GB HD, and a 2-button mouse...runs great. Added a Linksys router, and networked to my XP box.
(Still confused as to why there are 3 Library folders, 3 different font folders, etc...)
