uncustomary

OS X 10.6 is like a hardware upgrade for my 1.66 GHz Core Duo Mac mini (which I think was the "slowest" dual-core Intel Mac processor ever sold). not bad for a $49 Family Pack upgrade disc obtained through an Amazon pre-order discount. I had upgraded a Penryn-based MBP to 10.6 first, and many things seemed to improve on it. But the improvements with the O/S upgrade are very pronounced on this older hardware.

Wow. iTunes, networking, and Safari all seem much more responsive and faster!
And Finder, well, Wow!

this little Mac mini is still going strong.
