Mac mini arrived, but the monitor won't be here till Thursday. - rgG - 03-09-2009
UPS just delivered the previous generation Mac mini that I ordered from Amazon, but the monitor I ordered from Costco won't be here till Thursday.
I have a VGA to mini 'something' connector from an old G4 ibook, that would allow me to use the eMac as a monitor, but alas I have no monitor cable, since the newest stand alone monitor I have is from a Performa 6400. I guess I will be waiting till Thursday to fire up the Mac mini, won't I.
When I ordered the monitor from Costco the estimated ground delivery map showed that my delivery time should be 1 day, but then they shipped it from California instead of wherever their east coast warehouse is. I guess they were out of my monitor on this side of the country or something. Oh well, I will have something to look forward to on Thursday.

Hmmm... was this really for your husband or for you?

Kind of hard to tell, isn't it? Why do I think hubby is in danger of getting a slightly used iMac, with rgG "needing" to use that new mini and 22" monitor for a while "just to make sure it works right"?

she is doing some thermal cycling to check for faulty components.

It really is for hubby, but I will have to do the setup. I did consider that he might rather have the iMac, but decided that he should get the new machine this time.
Of course, depending on how nice that new monitor looks...

Yeah, I agree. Don't be fondling the new Mini either.
