Mac Mini revamp... meh.

So, Apple got around to updating their desktop product line today. I took a look at the new base-model Mac Mini and... was underwhelmed. OK, a little speed boost on the processor, more hard drive space, improved energy efficiency, and a more modern graphics chip... for my purposes, all that really translates into is that I could probably play Spore on that Mini if I were so inclined. Unfortunately, that just doesn't translate into a $600 purchase for me.

Oh well, we'll see what fun there is to be had in later product turns... I kind of doubt that anything in the next OS X will stress my current Mini any more than it would this new Mini, so, odds are, I'll be waiting for the next Mac Mini revision, if any.
