Mac mini, the perfect package for Tiger?

It looks like Dori Smith has been firing up Calculator.app recently because she shares some interesting figures  with us. She takes the full retail price of Tiger ($129) and assumes that people who want to upgrade to the new OS may not have the latest and greatest hardware. Why not upgrade your hardware as well?

Won't that cost a lot more? Perhaps in days of yore, however there is a pretty little thing called the Mac mini in Apple's product matrix now. Therefore if you buy a Mac mini on Friday, or after, you get Tiger and a new machine for $499, and since you were going to get Tiger anyway the mini really only costs you $370.

I like that math!
