The MAC waiting game

Well as I had posted in my last entry I was anxiously awaiting Steve Jobs keynote address at MacWorld Expo one week ago. Well MacWorld is done and gone for another year and the world discovered that Apple will unlease their new Intel chip collaboration on the IMac and a new rendition of the Powerbook, now called the MacPro. So where does that leave the MAC Mini, that little machine that has so captured my heart as so many others? It's hard to say, Apple has announced that they plan on changing their whole line-up to Intel chips in the calendar year 2006 so their still might be a chance that the little MAC Mini that could, will even more. As for me it's a waiting game really. I was poised to buy the MAC Mini in its 1.42Ghz incarnation with an 80 GB drive, but now I find myself wondering if I should wait until the new Intel model? Certainly I would like the increased performance boost that has manifested itself in the IMac and MAC Pro notebook, however how long will I have to wait and once they release it how long will it take software manufacturers to port their software over to the new Intel binaries? So only time will tell at this point. I plan on keeping tabs on Apple's development and will post information on my blog.
