Whats the Mac Mini really for?

In his latest column Robert X. Cringely offers up yet another rather insightful take on what is at face value another confusing piece of technology. The Mac Mini.

Steve Jobs is so enigmatic. A couple weeks ago at MacWorld, he introduced the 2.9 lb. Mac Mini and the reaction was so great it was like he had re-invented the PC. Readers are all excited by the little box and have been asking me for my take on it. Like everyone else, I had to scratch my head a bit and ponder what this thing is really for. I know, I know, it is for all those PC drivers who bought an iPod and are now supposed to trash their Windows PC for a Mac Mini. Yeah, but what’s it REALLY for? Movies.

It may be a stretch, but it’s a great read.
