<DIV><BR></DIV>Well I'm not sure I'd call the Mini inexpensive (maybe compared
to other Mac's), but the form factor is pretty tough to beat. Is HD even
a remote possibility on a Mini, or is it out of the question? I assume
you can't use hardware acceleration like XvMC.... If it can't do HD, is
the CPU the problem, or the vid card? I'm just thinking that if I wait a
bit, maybe Apple will come out with a next-gen Mini with more power.

remember seeing someone post somewhere, can't remember if it was<BR>this
