I'm old but I guess I'm not quite set yet. It all started when we got a
Mac mini to build a phone app. Programming and testing stood around the
unboxing poking at it wondering what we were supposed to do with it. I was
fascinated.

I never did a build with it but it ran headless and only was used by the
build guy. The iOS project eventually got scrapped because of the endless
hoops dealing with Apple.

The first non-Macs to show up on my radar were the Intel NUCs but I'm not
an Intel fan. When I saw a Beelink with an AMD I jumped on it. Now
everybody is in the game, except Intel. Dropping the NUCs may be another
of their less than stellar decisions although the marketing wasn't great.
