Closing the book on Apple's Mac mini

[Michael Brian Bentley]

They don't want to fix the graphics because that would cut into iMac 
sales. Using a mini, for example, as a poor man's blade is pretty 
interesting. The mac mini niche-ness is designed. Heck, Microsoft 
uses a lot of the minis to populate a large testing system in a small 
space.

So I don't think limited sales is a cause to discontinue the product, 
I think it helps Apple make additional sales they wouldn't be able to 
get with any of their other machines. The trick is to keep those 
additional sales in the designated niches.
