The Mac mini - in print and on TV
All my reporting today is on the Mac mini. Here’s my Free Press review, played on Page One. My bottom line assessment:
I’ve had a mini to try out since Friday, and it’s impressed me greatly. This is no weakling computer. It’s a full-fledged Macintosh that can do most everything I can on my $2,000 PowerBook, despite its small size.
In the review, I forgot to mention AppleWorks, which does have a word processor built in.
For my NBC-TV report that is sent out to all 215 affiliates today, I also looked at the mini, as well as the other new Apple products.
I also did a short review on the new iWork bundle. I was not as impressed

Mike,
Did I hear you correctly on your video saying Steve “Jobes”? For shame! That’s worth at least twenty lashes!

Too much snow over in Detroit? What’s up with this comment “For instance, it lacks PowerPoint’s ease of imbedding and playing movies in slides.” I use Keynote 1 religiously (and I always get the question: “Man, how did you get PowerPoint to do that?”) Unless something is profoundly changed in version 2, you are flat wrong. Adding a movie is as simple as dragging it into the window. How does PowerPoint handle it better?
