Dismantling a Mac Mini (the de-gendered version)
Those of you who read the captions on my Flickr photos may be aware of the deal I struck recently with my nephew Alix: he allows a photo of himself to be used in the public service videos I produced recently for UNICEF; I buy him a 1G RAM module for his Mac Mini. Well, [...]
