What are you talking about? This is the only "Make it Mine" fix of which I'm aware. The Mini 10v isn't an iPhone.

I don't know what this fix is, so I would say no.

Sorry- Yes I did confuse it.... What I meant to say was do I still need to install About this MAC fix? or is this covered in the NBI?

Pretty sure it is not in NBI. However, you do not need it. All it does is make the "About this Mac" menu display the processor you have, instead of "Unknown." It is purely cosmetic.

I used it when I did my fresh install, but it is purely cosmetic.

Nice to have though, surely... and no down side, I wouldn't have thought?

No real reason not to install it, if you like that sort of thing!

No, it works fine and no downside at all.

You can download it from here!

Edit: I have just found another link here, which might be the same file, or one could possibly be a later version than the other, but I haven't had a chance to check them both out yet... sorry!
