Celerys? I always considered them the KMarts of the processor world. I've
heard good things about the N100 in minis but I went with a more expensive
Ryzen 7 that's worked out well.

That was another experiment. The company bought a Mac mini for an aborted
attempt to build an iPhone product and I was fascinated by the form
factor. Unboxing it would have made a good youtube video. We all stood
around trying to figure out what to do with it. I never did anything with
it and still don't know jack about macOS or whatever it ran but it planted
the idea.

Come to think of it I wonder where it is? It always ran headless in the
server room and tended to get lost behind a switch or UPS.
