Mayor Of R'lyeh
That depends entirely upon how much this Edwin of which you speak values the things the Mini does offer. If he puts a premium on the form factor then he might have found it a great bargain. However if he were basing his judgement on the machine's specs then he would have been greatly disappointed.

Glorb
Who is the form factor important to, and why?

Keith Ream
Many people and not just for rational reasons. People like the cool factor of having a tiny computer much as they like the cool factor of certain cars.

Glorb
IOW, you're saying it's for irrational, egotistical people who don't really do much with a computer?

Snit
What a lovely straw man.

Glorb
Where?

Snit
Yours.

Glorb
IOW, there is none.

Snit
People buy things for irrational purposes all the time - look at choices of houses and cars and clothes.

Glorb
So your answer to my question is yes.

Snit
I noted your straw man.

Glorb
I have no straw man.

Snit
What else do you want?

Glorb
Honest answers from you.

Snit
You spewed the straw man

Glorb
I did no spewing, of straw men, or any other kind of spewing.

Snit
about the Mac mini being for "irrational, egotistical people who don't really do much with a computer?"

Glorb
That's the conclusion that fits what I was told.

Snit
We can debate endlessly about this, but in the end the facts will not change: that was your dishonest take on someone's comment.

Glorb
You're confusing your lies with facts.

What Keith Ream stated:

Many people and not just for rational reasons. People like the cool factor of having a tiny computer much as they like the cool factor of certain cars.

Your reply:

IOW, you're saying it's for irrational, egotistical people who don't really do much with a computer?

Being that Keith Ream did *not* say it was for people who were "egotistical" nor for people who "don't really do much with a computer"

your interpretation of his comments is clearly faulty.

We can go round and round on this for the next 6 months, if you like, but it will not change the fact your comments were absurd.
