I didn't until mid-2011. I was checking the Apple 2 vs the Atari 800; got the Atari 800 & not regretted it. The other encounters were obviously not my computers, but at the workplace except for the tape drive; also needed to check with the newsgroups as to why the non-functionality of the mac.

Got the mac mini for the low price on sale; also research shows that I am able to install a "unix" package for use instead of the mac osx. Did research to find about upgrading memory & found that I can diy to 8 gig for around $45 instead of the $400+ apple was charging.

As an aside, read that the new mac mini has the ram soldered so one has to purchase the mini with the ram configuration installed, at apple's pricing; but if one can afford an extra $400+ then go for it.
