Not strictly Linux related but has anyone seen the new Mac Mini that's recently been announced ?

Looks pretty sweet to me and I also find it quietly amusing that for less than twice the price of a boxed copy of Windows XP Pro you can buy an OS that is at least twice as good, plus the hardware to run it on.

Well I know a few people locally who are looking at least one of these. Anyone interested in arranging a bulk east anglian order? Or, alternatively a bulk order of cheap monitor, keyboard and mouse bundles... Seriously though, as an alternative to a mini-itx box, which I'd been considering, I could see it as a good home to try a PPC distro.

I've been trying out the Apple X11 implimentation the past few days, anyone suggest some must have apps to run on it. I have open office and space invaders so far, but I'm looking for a decent 3D modelling program?

What about Blender? Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? If not what ever you use on Linux should port over reasonably easily.
