Which computer for me?

[Applefanboy]

One word. Mac Mini.

It's not a case of being able to put it together or not. Things often go in only one way and come with a manual. But being able to debug the process is quite the different story. How many people's grandmothers who could also do the does the square fit in the circle puzzle, know how to clear the BIOS when you change a setting it doesn't agree with. Actually how many of these people know what a BIOS is.

Oh! OH! I do! I do! <waves hand frantically>

Big Intimidating Ominous Stuff... no no no...
Binding Inadequate Operating Systems... no no no...
Bungled Input/Output System... no no no...
Bifurcator Is Oughfully Silly?

Two words. Overpricedunderpoweredcomputerdestinedforhardware FAILURE.

What? No way the Mac Mini rocks! It's a very healthy spec for the price and a real consideration for low budget purchases. It competes favorably with the system being discussed for example. It's not a high-grade workstation tho but neither is the Acer being discussed!
