Lately, I have been using the Mac Mini that I bought a couple years ago. After I first bought it, I did a little with it and disregarded it mostly due to not having the time to figure out the differences between OS X and Windows or Linux. However, as I return home later this month the Mac Mini will be me my only computer for a while. So, I have been using it a lot to try and get adjusted to things.

The first thing I did was to get the home & end keys to work in the way that I like, i.e. going to the beginning and end of the current line. Next, I loaded up mono and checked to see if the projects I am working on will compile and run. As I figured they run just like they do on Mono under Linux. I have been getting used to the differences and trying out a lot of different software. It has actually been an enjoyable experience. The only problem I have is that the Mini is the last generation that used the G4 processor and it only has 512MB of ram. These two things, at least in my experience, equate to slow processing at times. There are a few other things that bother me and I am trying to work out, but I think when I am in a position to purchase a new computer it will be another Mac.
