One thing I like about the new Mac Pro - the size. Older Mac Pros I had to find someone local to buy them, and iMacs are a bitch to ship. Mac Mini's are the best - just drop them into a Priority Mail flat rate box and they're gone. Too bad they don&= #39;t have a better graphics board. I try to sell all machines at 2 years regardless, and I'll sell extra machines after a big show is over. Looking forward to not having to do that in the future.
