Apple Computer has launched a new program to entice people to the Mac platform called "Test drive a Mac mini." The program allows users to purchase a new Mac mini, including an optional Apple keyboard or mouse, and use it for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, if the user is not satisfied with their Mac mini, they can return it, along with the mouse and keyboard, to Apple for a full refund.

From Appleis Web site:

Weire so confident youill love your new Mac mini, weill let you test drive it for 30 days with no risk. If you decide you donit want it, weill take it back. Hereis how the test drive works:
