[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Don't get the car thing, though, unless it's a music server.
Some of them are. Some of them aren't.
I mean, I could put my entire CD collection on a mini and load it into my car. That's even better than PhatNoise.
And, see, this is why I need to stay away from that site. I turn into an episode of Pimp My Ride.
An 80G mini, Kristen? Cause otherwise, why not just get an iPod?
Huh.
Oh sure. Be practical.
An 80G mini, Kristen? Cause otherwise, why not just get an iPod?
Because an iPod can't be loaded with a DVD filled with even more MP3s, or a casual CD here and there on the fly.
ETA: Quote for context
a casual CD here and there on the fly.
They have these cool things that they'll install in the factories in most cars these days. I think they call them CD players.
Why would I want more intelligence in my car? GPS and directions and mapping with a link to the current traffic and weather conditions -- that'd be nice. Tapping my phone into my car's electronics (pausing the music when it rang, etc) would be good. Hooking the PDA somehow so it'd remind me (even when I'm not in the car) to make an appointment to get my oil changed would save my brain cells too.
The thing about my car is.... well, even though I spend a damn lot of time in it, I honestly don't want to be loading CDs on the fly while I'm driving down the freeway.
Badfinger was another unlucky band.
I was going to mention them. Those sensitive Power Pop boys go right under: Badfinger, Material Issue, Gin Blossoms - songwriter suicides all of 'em.
How many original memebers of Lynyrd Skynrd are left?
Punk is hazardous to your health.
Read that as pink. Was confused.
Hey, she copped to it in a song. Also, her debut video had her jumping a motorcycle between buildings and into her ex's apartment window in lieu of a Dear John letter. I think the hazard probably applies.

You mean in some setup more complex than a standard CD player? Like into iTunes?
I wouldn't want to be doing iTunes fiddling myself. It's very seductive to think "Oh, I can just do this, no problem." I have to work to not get sucked into that. And the more CPU power+interface in my car, the more stuff I'll swear I can do safely.

Ah, I was pointing out the virtues of adding the Mac Mini to your car over just an iPod, and giving examples of what it had over the iPod, not comparing it to the radio/CD player. I was merely pointing out that it had the possibilities.
The CD could have MP3s on it, too. Very few car CD players can play MP3 discs.
I would also point out that I am offering these as an opinion as to why the people who intend to install a Mac Mini might want to do so, not why I would want to do so.
Mostly because my car cost 1/2 that of the mac Mini ten years ago, and because I'm broke and in no way situated to purchase or even consider such high-falutin devices...
