First impressions of Mac mini and Mac OSX
January 9, 2006
The packaging and the beauty of the box is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. The user’s manual is petite and succinct.
I am using a Logitech Cordless keyboard and mouse, however it does not have the Apple Command key and most of the shortcuts require it.
The install process does not prompt for the root password and the Terminal app isn’t included in the dock panel.
By default the mini goes to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity which I had to change.
And the Microsoft Office evaluation has already expired before I could test drive it on the Mac.
Finally it takes time to get used to the menubar all the way on the top and not attached to the window, it took me some time to figure out how to import pictures in the iPhoto library because I just didn’t think about looking at the menubar.
