Can you point me to the 250$ equivalent for those: http://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/ ?

We have people doing work upstream and downstream trying to make them work better. Except that we don't spend our time continuous testing the installer on hardware that we might only have one model of. [1]: I hate those "the Macs are too expensive/proprietary/whatever" comments. Cool, don't buy them, don't use them, but there are plenty of other crapola hardware to go around in the non-Mac computers we support, and you just don't see the amount of work done upstream for the undocumented ACPI devices to make a single button work on your laptop. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
