Dear faithful Mac mini fanatics, do not fret. Apple has heard your concerns regarding the rumors that the mini is on its way out. Jobs and company are attempting to console your tender hearts. Well, sort of.
After reading a blog post speculating the discontinuation of the Mac mini, a concerned mini fan shot an email to hardware engineering chief Bob Mansfield. Bob was probably too busy working the "next great thing" to reply. Instead the mini fan was contacted by an executive in the Apple care division with a bit of assurance.
"I got a prompt reply by phone from an Apple executive care person essentially giving me no new information, but assuring me that Apple knew the mini was a popular machine and to be patient," the blogger told AppleInsider.
Fans of the Mac mini have become increasingly concerned over the supposed demise of their favorite compact systems. Apple’s behind-the-scenes consumer guidance assures that the Mac mini has enough popularity among small businesses and organizations to stay alive for future generations and outlined several features expected in future models, such as tuning the specs to cater to the markets in which they’ve become extremely popular.
