The mac software isn't there to recognize the F12 key's function. I am in fact in exactly this catch-22 at the moment. I understand them extending the Keep It Simple Stupid principle to the eject button, but they could at least leave in the emergency pin-hole, that nearly ALL other CD drives have. ah, but what if you are trying to install Windows XP for use with Bootcamp?

The Mac mini with the roll-up, rubberized (indescructible) keyboard and a mouse would be awesome for him. (and a good excuse to get one and play with...) hm, dunno about the F12 key. never tried it.

As far as who is/isn't getting one. I'm not. I doubt I ever will. I'm impressed with it, yes...but I have no use for it. To little power/speed and not near upgradeable enough. Is it perfect for my mom and my grandmother? Yes. Does it meet my needs? No. Good point about the eject button. As far as who is/isn’t getting one. I’m not. I doubt I ever will.
