Interesting Article, I wonder if the author is missing the point though.

I was down my local last night and overheard the barmaids talking and one said.

'Have you seen the new apple mac mini thing that they have just brought out'

'No' says other barmaid

'Oh its gorgeous im going to get one to go with my ipod' says girl..

I think thats the market they are looking for.

and then there is the IT geeky people like me, who just wanna try one and see what mac is like and are going to get one. I also have a feeling that as an IT support person it won't be long till I get my first customer calling up wanting support.

If this is a way for apple to dip there toe in the water of lower price machines and increase there market share by a percent point or half then its a winner.

IMHO.
