Just got a Mac Mini

Anyone know of any good books to learn about Macs? Never used one before and we've just started supporting them at work (I-Mac and Mini Mac's), so my boss has bought me a Mac Mini and asked me to learn about them. Great :rolleyes:

Cool, looking at getting one myself but waiting (if Apple ever do) get round to bumping up the specs to a Core 2 Duo

Let us know how you get on.

The "Missing Manual" books are great for the basics - but it depends on what else you want to learn really - the missing manual ones are broad and very helpful though.

Mac mini is great.

I got mine in march i think, i was holding out to see if any updates were happening, but i didnt see any real benefits for what id be using it for..

1.66ghz core duo and 1gb ram is pretty sufficient for my general use with occasional apps.

Its a pretty awesome media centre, although i love frontrow.. it needs updating and quicktime needs to support more file types.

But for lying in bed with the remote flicking through frontrow.. not too shabby

Runs fine with parallels too so its a charm.

Its just a better apple tv
