It looks like the release of an updated Mac Mini is imminent.

If there is any way you could hold off another 30-45 days, the waiting may pay off for you...

Not that you're wrong on the new Mini coming, because it sounds like one may legitimately be on the way soon. But it would be fun to gather all the "if you can wait a month or so" quotes about buying Minis that have been posted since last April


Also, I'm still curious on the "heavy" use of OpenCL in CC. Photoshop has never relied very heavily on the GPU, just for a handful of specialized filters, and I'm not seeing how that's any different now.
