[X4U] Mac Mini!!!

[Bill Fox]

I'd be interested in your reasons for thinking this. They are totally 
different. The Cube was elitist with quality issues and expensive, 
$1800 at least in 2000 dollars. The Mac mini is just the opposite. 
Still, Apple has to sell millions of the Mac mini to make it economical 
and a quality issue could suck out any profits even if it doesn't 
affect sales. I think Apple knows the latter so I would assume they 
used high quality parts and fabrication to minimize the possibility. I 
am only surprised that they don't try to pad their profit with a 
reasonable AppleCare at $30-50--not many will spring for $149. 
Actually, this has me wondering a bit about my assumption on the 
quality of the Mac mini.  The probability that its simply stupid 
AppleCare pricing is buoyed by the fact that the iPod shuffle Applecare 
is an inconceivable $59 on a $99 item.
