love the motivational poster
Haven't posted a pic since I replaced my hackintosh with a 24" iMac.
This is a 24" 2.8 GHz iMac with 4GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive, connected to a Dell 2407wfp. On the left is a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz (LED display) also with 4GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive (that's my work laptop) connected to a Dell 2007wfp. I use Teleport to control both of them with the iMac's KB/mouse.
Other Macs not pictured: my wife's black MacBook and the Mac mini attached to the plasma TV running Plex.

That's a very nice, clean set-up.

Sold my Aluminum MacBook for the Compaq mini. So much better

That's sweet. I just returned my MBA because it just felt like a REALLY expensive netbook. Now I'm thinking about getting the Mini 1000 because of the keyboard and I like the design the best.
Those two things and the full compatibility with OSX made me buy the Compaq mini.
Correct.
those netbooks are looking pretty sweet to hackintosh. i have had my eye on the dell mini 9 for a while.
but i could never sell my MacBook for it.
plus... i REALLY don't need it... with payments+college without a scholarship
things are tight

I'd like some 'how to' get OS X loaded onto the HP Mini. Will it differ from hackintoshing the newer HP DV2?
I am SO seriously considering doing this.
What is the battery life like under OS X? What works? What doesn't?
Cool, I didn't know HP also had a Compaq branded mini. I'd pick one up one of the Compaq branded ones if I had the money.

Save yourself the money. My girlfriend bought this and it is a terrible computer. Absolutely terrible.
Why the Compaq?Cool, I didn't know HP also had a Compaq branded mini. I'd pick one up one of the Compaq branded ones if I had the money.
How so?
It's a psychological thing. For some reason, every HP I've ever used has been horrible. Every Compaq has been decent. I know they're the exact same thing, but still...
I like the logo better, I was just wondering what your motives are.
Can't buy a netbook for a while, though, as I just picked up a replacement for the iBook G4 : a Dell Latitude C610. 14" 1400x1050 screen, 1GHZ Pentium III, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD, and a 5 hour battery. Not bad for $130.
Wait, I thought HP stopped making computers in the name of Compaq. Why does that Mini have Compaq written on it?
Why does GM manufacture and market the exact same cars under different names and with different badges?
Brand loyalty. Yes. Some people still buy Compaqs. It's the same as the Chevy purists who will pick a Silverado over a GMC Sierra any day.
The way it should be! I am trying to convert my parents, they keep saying there happy with there windows laptops

By the way, where did you buy that? When I click the link on the Compaq website, it takes me to HP's...
