[X4U] Mac MIni?

[Joe Sporleder]

I wish the Mac mini was closer in performance to the iMac. Give me  
the iMac horsepower in a size similar to the Mac mini (hey, they've  
got plenty of room to make it taller and still keep it small), and  
let me choose my own screen. I know, I know, Apple has a love affair  
with the all-in-one design.
