The funny thing about the release of the Mac Mini is the way that the Craigslist tech ads exploded with Macs for sale. Clearly Applephiles are cleaning out their old gear to scrape together a little dough to buy one.

This is seriously going to be the deepest market saturation FreeBSD has ever had, period. I'm pretty excited about this little dude, not necessarily because it's going to make Apple get its claws into more homes, but because it's going to send the x86 side into overdrive trying to make knockoffs. It's going to be pretty interesting to see how long it takes for southeast asian electronics manufacturers to beat it. The most interesting possibility will be the micro, high-capacity PVR. I'm sure even more interesting ideas that I haven't even considered will be springing up, too.

I think the best idea is to max out your credit card buying up Minis, and starting eBay auctions before it's released. It'll be good times when the shortages start.
