[X4U] Apple sued over defective iMac displays

[Ken Johnson]

Well - I own a lowly Mac-Mini and I love it.  For one thing, it is  
much more upgradable than the iMac.  I recently changed the hard drive  
to a 200 GB 7200rpm unit, and before that, I increased the RAM.   
Attached to it is a mini-like hard drive with built-in USB2 and FW400  
hubs.  It drives a 20-in Apple display.  Yes, the Mac Pro would be  
even faster, but all my work (websites, photo-editing, Office stuff,  
and all the web stuff) is well within its capabilities.

I will say, though, the new hard drive did make a measurable  
improvement over the too-small, 5400 rpm stock unit.
