Well, I've done the dirty deed and ordered a macmini from one of the UK's top stores (John Lewis) who had 3 left in stock, so, hopefully (seems a strange word to use I suppose) it will come without SL. Also they give a free 2 year guarantee. laugh
Now I just have to get my head around transferring stuff across. frown I know it should be straightforward, but the way BH's existing computer is set up, that probably won't be the case. However, in order not to incur the wrath of the mods, I am going to open a new topic called, excitingly, something like "Migrating from PPC to new macmini". See you there? wink
