Apple releases new firmware for Mac Mini

Beautiful but broken
Tuesday, 1 September 2009, 12:35

PUNTERS who shelled out huge wodges of cash for their Mac Minis on the grounds that they considered those perfection incarnate might be looking a bit silly.

The fruit-themed toymaker has released some firmware upgrades for the Mac Mini computer. There is also another one for machines that were loaded with SuperDrive.

Apparently when the machines in question were released they were not exactly compatible with the latest Apple memory kits.

Apple's "external forces", or "customers" as other companies call them, had been complaining that the SuperDrive made a lot of noise which was not what they expected.

After all, when you pay for a Rolls Royce you don't expect it to make the noise of a 1981 Fiat Panda going uphill while towing an elephant wearing roller skates, do you? Still, at least the Mac Minis didn't shatter or explode.

You can download all these firmware upgrades from Apple Support. µ

Tired...so tired....

Whilst I'm no Apple fan I do find Nicks Apple articles to be getting just more and more snippy and sarky.

Not very mature and quite frankly getting rather embarrassing to read.

Rise above it and just report the damn facts man!
