The Mac Mini, as it appeared at my doorstep. Full disclosure: Where possible, tonight’s episode was produced using the machine I bought on eBay. Today’s GIF is the video of the Mac OS X intro, as was used in version 10.5, Leopard. And now, I’m telling you all about my experience in today’s Tedium. After some research and some careful bidding on eBay, I bought a damaged one-for $10, plus shipping. I gave myself some parameters, however: It had to be as cheap as possible, and if it was broken, I had to fix it. My acquisition of this product was a total impulse buy: After reading up on the Mac Mini G4 and remembering that it was the first computer I ever owned that I had not purchased refurbished or used (though not my first Mac), I decided to relive those days by buying a new one. I was trying to figure out if I could revive a Genuine Apple Product™ that had seen better days. But as I was working out the details on that piece, I had a not-so-secret hobby that was taking up quite a bit of my time. Today in Tedium: Last week, I sent a piece extolling the joys of the Hackintosh, a concept that is very much a response to the demise of “the good old days” of Apple.
