So let's talk about the reasons I'm not sorry I bought my Mac Mini and didn't wait for the new Mac Pro. That dictates that the Mac be my daily driver. These programs help me get my job done faster and save time, so I rely on them. There are a number of programs I run (including Final Cut Pro X) that can't be run on a Windows machine. You can't run MacOS on a Windows machine. This machine is always a Mac, because you can run MacOS, Windows, and Linux on a Mac. But over the years, I've often talked about what I call my 'main machine.' It's the one that I equip for heavy-duty projects, ranging from network simulation, multi-VM operations, AI development, video editing, or data analysis. I actually have a lot more than one machine in use, including a bunch of older Macs, some Windows laptops, a cluster of Linux machines driving the 3D printers, and some servers. That's what I'm going to answer in this article.

One theme emerged from many of the emails and tweets I got: a real question about whether I regretted my choice last year to upgrade to the Mac Mini as my main desktop machine, rather than waiting for Mac Pro. And, the fact is, I love getting comments from readers and having the opportunity to connect with you folks. Whew! Life as a tech columnist after an Apple announcement is never boring.
