Its part of their contract agreement with apple. Unfortunately, we periodically get customers who refuse to understand that it doesnt matter if apple doesnt know. we cannot break contract. Anyway, I'll keep my eyes open for anything mac mini that might be of help. You might be better off just buying one though. _________________________ Electricity tastes good. No, seriously.

Also consider the Cube, wich can be had for a very reasonable prices and is also small with a nice upgrade path too. _________________________ PB G4 15" 1.2ghz - Pismo G3 400 mhz - iBook G3 500 "Jukebox" "SawSmurf" G4 500 - Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz modding...
