[ale] OT New thread -new iMacs- Joe's question

Sounds like you have a good plan there.

I noticed that "upgrade" doesn't seem to be an option when ordering a  
refurb unit too.   I suppose they have them refurbed boxed and ready  
to ship.  Opening the box and installing upgrades would ad to the  
handling cost.  I always thought memory was cheaper other places any  
way.

It is hard to beat the price of a Mac Mini when you consider the  
features.
