[Mac-talk] Blu-ray for mac mini

[Octavio G. Zuniga]

Next thing we will see is a media-less recovery option... download the  
recovery OS/disk image off Apple's website!

Or better yet.... buy third party media-less software from the "App  
Store"... Apple Login required, download directly from Apple, serial  
numbers stored/managed by Apple as well.....

hhmm... and/or..... purchase media-less software via Apple and store  
backup's of the DMG/software on Time Capsule!

Sounds like Broadband will be a necessity.... actually it has become  
one already!  This means Broadband ISP's will need to get their act  
together and provide even faster Internet access!


... Just thinking out-loud!
