Apple should make all Steve Job's Keynotes available on iTunes 2 cheers

Sounds like a no-brainer. In fact they could have keynotes and video recordings of events going back to the release of the original Mac (or Lisa or even the Apple ][e) if these were ever video recorded. This would be so cool. PeterSW



Apple should keep (and improve) the Mac Mini

I love my Mac-Mini. I bought a G4 MacMin soon after they came out, that my daughter and her husband inherited after my wife bought me a Core Duo MacMIni for my birthday this year. (lovely woman) It is quiet, portable and does what I need. At this price point I will upgrade my Mac EVERY YEAR!!! I cannot afford to buy an iMac or tower every year. And besides, where would it fit on my desk??? I have a Core 2 Duo MacBook but my first love is still my MacMini. And YES! the ram should be able to be easily replaced without freaking surgery.

Apple should make the maximize button maximize

When I click on the Finder’s Green maximize button, I expect it to maximize. Maximize buttons have done this since X Windows and NextStep (that Windows’ interface was quite closely modeled on) and used to work in older versions of the Mac OS (6.0.8 through 9.x from memory). Apple munted (Australian slang for stuffed) this in OS X. The key thing about user interfaces is meeting user expectations. I expect a maximize button to maximize and a minimize button to minimize. The OS X finder’s Minimize button minimizes, but the maximize button doesn’t maximize. This is a proverbial pain in the posterior. Oh, and allowing users to use window edges to resize windows wouldn’t be that painful to implement would it??? You’ve got Unix – now use it!!!

Apple should add External SATA2 connectors to all Macs

SATA2 HDD are great! They are fast, cheap and reliable. SATA really is a great technology! Well done HDD standards people whoever you are. SATA has been a great replacement for IDE. (It is a pity the internal connector cables are often so easily disconnected.) Firewire 400 and 800 just cannot keep up with modern fast SATA2 HDD. Apple really should use SATA2 on board ALL Macs as soon as practicable to reduce HDD performance bottlenecks and ALL Macs need external SATA2 connectors NOW so that the SATA2 HDD we are installing into external HDD caddies aren’t slowed down to a crawl (even a fast crawl) by obsolete connections such as USB2 and FireWire (as good as they are). Apple Engineers, please, please, please add external SATA2 connectors to all Macs. PeterSW
