Good point about the Mac mini vs. budget PCs:

As I browsed these companies’ websites, something popped out at me: The different ways in which Apple and the Windows PC vendors (including Dell) “strip down” their low-end models. The Mac mini is stripped down externally—no mouse, keyboard, or display—while still being a full-featured machine internally. Windows PC makers generally take the opposite approach: You get a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, but limited hardware features and little to no software. And speaking of software, why do so many Windows writers neglect to include the value of bundled software, monetary or otherwise, when they “compare” computers? I suppose it’s because the “free” software that comes with most Windows PCs stinks—in the budget PC world, if it comes with the computer it must not be very good. Tip to Windows writers: You’ve been led astray. The software that comes with a computer can be free and great.

Quality is often ignored in the name of price, a cheaper Mac does not mean a lesser Mac.

Millions of emotionally retarded teens unsure where to publicly express angst about being all alone.

Might be a good day to avoid Hot Topic.

So what you're saying is you have a problem that is totally your problem but you'd like to find a way to make that problem my problem.
