Then there's the story of the guy that planned a trip thru a very isolated, remote jungle. He took every spare part for his vehicle that he could fit in. And, yes he did break down in the worst possible place. But all of his spare parts didn't help because he broke the rear axle from all the extra weight of the spare parts and he didn't have a spare axle.
Wouldn't it be nice (besides being able to have 32 GB of RAM) for a Mac Mini to have a slide in carrier for the drives instead having to do major surgery to add or change one deep in the bowels of that machine?
I seem to recall that in the US Army, soldiers were taught to take apart and clean their rifles in total darkness. I've taken apart (and altered) quite a few computers, including Mac Mini's, but don't think I've reached the skill level to do it in the dark.
