Thanks Bill for your time.

Steve covered a good portion of my follow-up questions - but I just wanted to specifically ask if you had any experience with using your Mac Mini witha LCD HDTV as a monitor?

from what I've seen, Apple doesn't provide an SSD drive as a customizable option in their Mac Minis. There is a SSD option with their Macbook Pros and I *think* their Macbook Airs - but going with the SSD option in those laptops would make an already insane price *super*-insane, I see. From what I've seen (and my web-research is far from perfect, and my knowledge very limited) - there is some question as to whether a SSD drive is worth the extra $$$$$ when it comes to emf-reduction. I came across a couple of sources that claimed that the wattage/power differential between an SSD drive and aconventional spinning hard-drive isn't that much. In fact, some claim that SSD drives use *more* power.  

from the prices I've seen on the high-capacity SSD drives (at least Apple's) - I would have to be assured that I would experience a dramatic (or at least highly-noticable) reduction in emf sensations before I justify shellingout the extra $$$$. And even then - there's a good chance that I just couldn't afford it.  

I'm not sure how flexible Apple would be in providing me personally with a SSD drive option. Do you have an SSD drive in your Mac Mini? If so, did you insert it yourself? Do you really notice the difference with SSD drives?
