There goes the Mac Mini. After tinkering with the Mac Mini for about 2-3 months it turned out to be a less than ideal development platform. Although this little experience has totally changed my view on  Mac software and hardware. I would recommend an Apple macbook/pro to any regular computer users who use web based applications for most of the daily tasks. I think the premium paid on the hardware is justified. In terms of 3rd party software available on the platform however, I have mixed feelings. Yes most of them look great, very visually appealing effects etc but it is damn hard to find applications that offer the same functionality on the windows platform.

Software does exist, it’s just that you have to pay for every single little thing that you are used to getting for free in the windows/linux worlds.
