"What is the mini-mac like, is it powerfull enough etc...?" probably, what do you intend to do on it? If you already have a keyboard and monitor the mac-mini is a bargain. Probably won't be too good for 3D gaming but thats not what macs are for really. "Is garageband anygood for making music?" i've heard its just a good beginer programme, there are other good music programmes available for the mac. Loads of musicians use macs to make music. "Do usb products have to be mac compatible, hubs etc...?" should be compatible, they use the same usb 2.0. "Are there any good p2p/torrent/file sharing aps for mac?" yes, acquisition is the one i use... i think its the best but i haven't explored them too much. |

"is it worth getting virus protection?" not really, i've used macs for 5 years now and never had a problem. OSX is extremely easy to use, its the best operating system there is |

One of the benefits for macs on the net is 95% percent or upwards of viruses and trojans are writen for pc's. The downside is macs are notoriously shitty for internet uses. Most usb hardware is compatible with any computer that has a usb port. Mac, Linux or PC. All you need is the proper drivers. If you are not sure, just look on the box. The hardware will mention what kind of systems it is compatible with. The downside to macs, is to upgrade them you practically have to pull the entire thing apart. With pc's just open the side panel and install what you need, no fuss no muss (although my new soundcard took me an hour to install, cause I had to figure out how the drive bay was to connect to the board card and such. It took me 3 minutes to install my video card, after turning my computer off). Really, its all about preferance. I would never buy a mac, cause I have found them to be less than reliable, and they focus too much on making them pretty, and easy to use, while making the more detail oriented and advanced applications really difficult. The same reason I hate window XP. |

Mac Mini looks powerful enough to me Garageband isn't bad but it just doesn't do very much. Peripherals should be fine, if they need any sort of driver you should check there is a Mac one obviously Aquisition and Solarseek are good apps for p2p, bittorrent works too but I've kind of given up on that I've never had a Mac virus in about 10 years Macunlimited is a good mac broadband provider that I use |

I had a friend who did the opposite, and he found his stuff worked better from the start, and kept on working better. You mac people just insult yourselves naturally, by owning macs. I don't need to say anything further. |
