Re: [motm] OT: Digital recording and the Mac Mini

Well, you can order it with 1GB of RAM installed;
I was thinking along the same lines... that small box
would be a nice little monster to use with Logic...
it's got a firewire port and 2 USB2 ports... so one
could hookup any audio interface.
Damn... I should have bought one of those dual G4
towers when they were throwing them out last autumn
(being too cheap to buy a G5)...

Best,

Dino
