MacWorld '05 reactions

• Mac mini: That is really small.
• iPod shuffle: That is REALLY SMALL.

It's too bad the Mac mini comes with so little memory and looks to be non-upgradeable, because otherwise it is very appealing and I could use a processor boost. I'll wait for them to come out with the G5 Mac micro, which will fit conveniently beneath my thumbnail.

Update: Hahaha. Apparently if you actually look at the rest of the Mac mini page instead of rushing off to kill some Russians, the Mac mini's RAM is upgradable after all. The catch: The 1GB option (which is now the minimum for serious users, I'm afraid) almost doubles the cost of the unit. Between the announcement of the Mac mini, its limited RAM, and then the discovery of the upgrade option and then the price, my credit card has been in and out of my wallet so many times today it is downright obscene.
