MOTM

Ok, well I do not know much about digital recording.   I have never 
done it, and I am unaware of the "gotcha's" that must exist.   Apple 
today announced the new Mac Mini.  It has 256 MB of memory.   I am 
interested in this little thing to do multitrack audio recording.  
Any opinions on this?    Is this Mac too small?    Are there products 
out there that would work well with the new Mac Mini?

I would like to do home multi-track recording of my MOTM synth, 
nothing really elaborate.

Thanks for any thoughts.
