>Subject: Re: #7805 Mac mini, anybody?

We have ordered one for use in our computer classroom, in the hopes
that they can be used to replace the Mac Cubes we currently have
installed. There is little or no audio input in this space, but I can
report on our results once we get it! (It's on back-order.)
