People who "don't do much with a computer" happens to define the huge majority of non-corporate computer use and not a small percentage of corporate use. Fact is, most people do E-mail, web browsing, music, You-Tube, manage their digital pictures and little else with their computers. A Mac Mini is more than adequate for all of those.
120 GB is plenty for lots of of folks, Edwin. I admit, I don't have the largest iPhoto library at only 1400 photos, but if I had 5 times as many, it would still only occupy about one sixth of a 120GB drive.
A typical ~8MP JPG is 2.5MB, so a photo directory of 10,000 images is only 25GB on average.
For music, 5 *days* worth of iTunes will suck down a whopping 10GB.
System folder...another 2GB.
Gosh, we're still under 40GB used.
Need I continue?
