Re:Are people that stupid? (Score 1)

Where I think Apple did mess up a little was by providing only 256Mb of RAM as standard. With this little memory the machine is going to be swapping a lot and with that slow drive this is going to slow it down quite a bit. This is one case where paying for an extra 256Mb is going to be really worth the money.

Definitely. Before I upgraded my Mini to 1GB, it was swapping constantly when I had both RSSOwl and OmniWeb running at the same time. Unless you're only running apps with a small memory footprint, a Mac with only 256M is almost a single-tasking machine.
