Good: Fits perfectly in to my way of working

Bad: Mobile Me as per above the webmail is USELESS and complain to Apple about this EVERY WEEK!!!

Comment: This "links' in perfectly to the Apple product line. If you are like me and always on the go then I have a Mac Pro at home and a Mac Pro at the main office then where I occasionally work a Mac Mini is about perfect for me. You see I used to use Small Business Server 2003 and used Sharepoint as my central repository. Now I have MobileMe and use my iDisk EVERY day then I want to access it EVERYWHERE. So having Macs in each location for me makes my life totally productive and access to ALL MY STUFF
365/24/7 without the chore of logging in to the sharepoint.Of course I can access ny iDisk on my iPhone which is great when out on the road
So the Mac Mini is a great form factor and if you have Monitor and Keyboard etc at your idifferent locations can pack it up in your rucksack (yes I bike it around) and I much prefer this to notebooks which I have used in the past HP/Dell the list goes on and on what a waste of money that lot was!! Do not like netbooks either not a good solution
I believe if Apple get the MacMini OSX server + associated hardware for small offices sorted then linked in to a central iDisk "Cloud" they are on to a certain winner, BUT with simple setup advice for non technical people.
