   desc: I just got this computer (as of writing this) for $20 on FB Marketplace, and it's my first ever Mac. It is running
     Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and has been pretty fun to mess with. It doesn't run OSX slowly, but it certainly runs
     modern Linux rather slowly (At least with XFCE). I also gotta say, I do like how the Mac Minis look.

+title: Mac Mini Upgrades (at long last) + Some Updates I suppose

+---
+I know it's been a while, but I've been forgetting and procrastinating, of course! (though is that very surprising?)
+in that time, I’ve hardly made much progress in Minecraft, though I've done almost half the ocean monument draining.
+I've also upgraded my Mac Mini 2,1 in that time, so that's what this is gonna be about!
+
+So, as I'm sure you're aware, I bought a mid-2007 Mac Mini back in January. When I bought it, it was running Mac OS X 10.7.4
+Lion, and only had an 80 gb HDD and two 512 sticks of DDR2 RAM. After I got it home, I swiftly installed Mac OS X 10.6.8
+on it instead for performance reasons. I was initially hesitant to open it up since I didn't have a proper metal prying
+tool and I didn't wanna damage it.
+
+Welp, I didn't wait any longer past late February/early March. I took a kitchen knife (a fairly dull one at that), and
+I stabbed it in the bottom. Well, I didn't *stab* it of course, but I used it as my prying tool. Now that I had it open,
+I replaced the RAM with the two 2 gb sticks from my broken Toshiba Satellite X200, and I replaced the hard drive with
+the 120 gb drive from that same Toshiba. While doing this upgrade, I realised that the CPU was socketed and that the better
+Core 2 Duos available weren't too pricey, so my plan is to upgrade that at some point to the higher clock speed model.
+
+After the upgrade, I had to fight with it some to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. A direct upgrade was off the table since
+it just didn't work, so what I ended up doing was using the 2010 MacBook Pro to make a Time Machine backup, and I used that
+to restore to a fresh OSX Lion install. After shuffling some files around, it all worked! It's a shame though that I lost
+Rosetta in the upgrade, since I had Adobe CS2 all set up and working.
+
+Another thing I had tried in the time since I got it was trying to install Gentoo on the Mac Mini. This went all well and
+good until it came time to install the bootloader. The preceding steps were all fine, and even fairly quick since Gentoo 
+started shipping binary packages, but the bootloader just wouldn't install. I tried all the bootloaders on the install
+guide to no avail, and I can only theorise this is thanks to the strange quirk with early Intel Macs; They have a 32-bit
+EFI while being a 64-bit system. Since I could do little about this, I gave up for the time being.
+
+I think that sums it up for the Mac Mini, so I don't have much else to say on top of all of this. 
+
+I guess I should say that after my article about Webfishing, I kinda just stopped playing it, but I have since picked up
+Kerbal Space Program, and I rather swiftly racked up 90 hours on it (and still rising).
