I am using the Mac Mini because it can run both Mac OS X and Windows Vista(beat that with a custom PC!), or I can build a PC from parts available from Mp3Car.com Custom car computers and parts!.
Several points.
1. Nice app find... Street Deck. The mix of apps I showed you though was cheaper (everything was free but Street + Trips). Whatever, though, this is really nice.
2. ScanTool, yeah it's an OBD-II reader. It doesn't give performance info, but rather information about CELs and such.
3. Mac can be run on PCs... illegally....

If you want to have a Mac mini in your computer and want to take it in and out with ease, I'd recommend fabricating a dock type thing. That way you can just push it in and then pull it out whenever.

Enlighten us, since it's almost impossible to turn a profit on a business in the first year. Please explain.

Please stay on topic. WhiteEagle's financial situation is not the topic of discussion here!
