The Macmini can run what I need it to and it is only $799.  The $599 dollar version does not have enough memory for my games. I am working very very hard to get and save the money for this.  This weekend we are having a garage sale and I plan on working during it and am pricing and sorting stuff for it.  I am hoping to help my Dad with some more projects.  I helped build a deck and he paid me $50.  I hope our garage sale goes well.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1601889517777384399-1763273945894966557?l=whatjameslikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/feeds/1763273945894966557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-macmini.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1601889517777384399/posts/default/1763273945894966557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1601889517777384399/posts/default/1763273945894966557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-macmini.html' title='The New Macmini'/><author><name>Mom in Kansas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801927658370370400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlZqv5MEfyI/AAAAAAAACLg/ZscpL-xzR04/S220/blog+picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601889517777384399.post-6710579051606503478</id><published>2009-07-09T06:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T15:00:42.925-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Spore</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX4HSi1ERI/AAAAAAAACLM/-46IrAlwBsU/s1600-h/GalAdvBoxTitle.jpg.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 109px; height: 190px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX4HSi1ERI/AAAAAAAACLM/-46IrAlwBsU/s320/GalAdvBoxTitle.jpg.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356460135947768082" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX3-fEqz6I/AAAAAAAACLE/uZbZnVxZmdI/s1600-h/BP1BoxwithTitle.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 142px; height: 191px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX3-fEqz6I/AAAAAAAACLE/uZbZnVxZmdI/s320/BP1BoxwithTitle.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356459984692105122" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX3xZ_qjnI/AAAAAAAACK8/U7eepFuxuf8/s1600-h/SporeBoxwithTitle.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 107px; height: 186px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX3xZ_qjnI/AAAAAAAACK8/U7eepFuxuf8/s320/SporeBoxwithTitle.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356459759990640242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wondering what the box art you see on the top of the post is Its Spore, a computer game where you guide a cell into becoming a land creature and then have it form a tribe ,modern civilisation and finally make that civilisation a galactic one. First lets start out very simple.  One day on a plant you choose, a huge metore crashes on the your planet and slams directly in the water. Now a cell had been riding on the metore and is released in the water. This is the begining of the cell stage. In this stage your goal is to lead this cell into evolving its brain by having it mate and produce an egg. When it hatches the baby will be smarter then its parent. But in order to do this you must eat other cells or plants depending if the creature is a herbivore carnivore or omnivore. but be careful or your cell well be eaten.  When your cell eats food it gets dna points which are used to advance your creatures brain and change your cells body . When your creature gets smart enough it realizes that it wants to go to land. It swims to shore and calls it brothers, sisters , parents, and grandparents and well you get the point. They go to shore and become creatures. This begins the creature stage. In the creature stage the game is now full 3D and the gameplay is the same , but this time you socializes with your species and others. Oh but  do not go in the water to far otherwise your creature will b killed by the SEAMONSTER. When your creatures get smart enough they will become self aware and become a tribe. This is the beginning  of the tribal stage. In the tribal stage the only thing you can edit is your creatures cloths. Anyway your goal is to defeat the other tribes by converting, bribing or going to war.  Once you do this the civilization stage begins where your creatures  discover modern technology. You edit cloths, buildings, their national anthem, vehicles, ships, planes and weapontery. The goal is the same as the tribal stage as well as how you take over other cites. When you win  this stage you go to the space stage where you get to fly a space ship around the galaxy. This is the final and best stage of the bunch. You also meet numerous alien races . Oh and you can build a spaceship and colonize other plants. Everything you create is added to the sporeobeda which means that even though it is a single player game your content is put into others games and theirs into yours. Which is one of the best features. Those two expansion packs at top of the screen, the first creepy and cute only add parts.  The Galatic adventures makes it so that players can send their spaceship captains on ground based adventures and allows players to make their own. This also works like other content on the sporeobidea. This has been called a great feature by many people.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1601889517777384399-6710579051606503478?l=whatjameslikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/feeds/6710579051606503478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/2009/07/spore.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1601889517777384399/posts/default/6710579051606503478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1601889517777384399/posts/default/6710579051606503478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/2009/07/spore.html' title='Spore'/><author><name>Mom in Kansas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801927658370370400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlZqv5MEfyI/AAAAAAAACLg/ZscpL-xzR04/S220/blog+picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX4HSi1ERI/AAAAAAAACLM/-46IrAlwBsU/s72-c/GalAdvBoxTitle.jpg.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601889517777384399.post-720031886477806613</id><published>2009-07-09T06:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T06:56:14.705-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX2781ggXI/AAAAAAAACK0/C_DhCBLiNd0/s1600-h/product-white-hero.jpg.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 109px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX2781ggXI/AAAAAAAACK0/C_DhCBLiNd0/s320/product-white-hero.jpg.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356458841630343538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I am a Mac user.  My whole family uses only MACS.  Macs are very fast, secure and a lot of fun.  Right now I am trying to save for a MacBook like my Mom has.  The newest Macbooks can run great games like the Sims 3 and Spore.  I have wanted these games for about 2 years.  I finally decided to start saving for a Macbook and these games (Donations always welcome)  .  The makers of the Sims 3 is coming out with an expansion pack in November and the spore makers have already released two expansion packs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1601889517777384399-720031886477806613?l=whatjameslikes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/feeds/720031886477806613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-am-mac-user.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1601889517777384399/posts/default/720031886477806613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1601889517777384399/posts/default/720031886477806613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whatjameslikes.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-am-mac-user.html' title=''/><author><name>Mom in Kansas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13801927658370370400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlZqv5MEfyI/AAAAAAAACLg/ZscpL-xzR04/S220/blog+picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J8hSuxUpOH8/SlX2781ggXI/AAAAAAAACK0/C_DhCBLiNd0/s72-c/product-white-hero.jpg.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
