Macintosh - Mac Mini aficionados please help

I'm thinking about purchasing a mac mini for my wife's system. One of her favorite websites is gamerival.com. Can somebody please tell me if this site is compatible with the mac. If it's not, then I'm going to have to look elsewhere for a small and quit system. I've been wanting to try a mac for some time and this gives me a reason to jump over the windows XP fence and see what's on the other side.

Thanks,

Pabelson,

Thanks for the Kinkos suggestion. I just called the local store and they have macs for hire. So, I will run over there as soons as the wife gets back from her mothers (I don't drive).

I know windows inside and out (MCSE, MCSA, A+ ) but I'm new to macs. I've only played around with them a few times and it's been years. Also, other than looking at the specs and size, I have not really looked at what software comes with the mini. I have never used Safari and I don't know if it supports macromedia flash and shockwave.

Also, I'm looking forward to learning a new OS.

Thanks again,

OK, just read up on Safari and I see that it supports all the W3C standards such as java, shockwave and flash. Moral of the story is do your research first.

Thanks again,

PrPixel, I just went to the website and played Dodge City Darts on my G5 running OSX 10.3.5 at work. It runs fine, but I suck at darts.

Go get the Mac Mini Me!

PrPixel, I know you're very knowledgeable when it comes to the Windows operating system, so I'll be interested to hear your opinion of Mac OSX. Have fun!
