Nice vid Mike! Did you have auto white balance on, some of the screens seem to blow out during the video. Again you are forcing me to contemplate grabbing a Mac Mini! :(  My wallet is crying right now haha.

[DetroitBORG]

@TekBeatTV I have auto-exposure on. I feel like an idiot right now because I don't know how to lock it while filming without holding a button. I have to break out the manual (hate doing that).

[TekBeatTV]

@DetroitBORG haha ic, well it's a Nikon so I can't offer much help on that end :(. But if I recall correctly I think you stated on twitter awhile back ago that you figured it out ;).

[DetroitBORG]

@TekBeatTV I thought I had, turn out all it did was enable the shutter button to act as A/E lock. BAH!

[Videoseeker234]

@DetroitBORG Hmm...if you get time, could you do a video on reinstall of OS X Lion? Seeing as a DVD or USB drive doesn't come with it...

[DetroitBORG]

@Videoseeker234 That would be a good topic, maybe i will cover it in the future.

@tigerbeer1231 I don't have the old ones anymore. When i do a giveaway, it will be of something new :)

Is the mac mini a good choice for a home office set up. I have a core 2 duo mac but would like something a little more advanced.

Just to a mac mini! First Mac and I'm really pleased!

You must be a wizard with iMovie because your videos look so professional.

@iskipmeals4games You can buy it through the mac app store or on the internet at a game downloading website.

Nice video, I have a question. If you buy an app from the store (one which is NOT included when u buy the mac), for example Pages (assuming its not included when purchase), can you use it on 2 or more computers? Say you are already using it on a macbook pro, do you get a free download for mac mini and so on? Or would I have to buy it again?
