Yeah, I'm having all kinds of problems with the BT on this Mini 9, but my Mini 10V running SL 10.6.2 is flawless. Besides I feel a bit weird, having bought one of someone else's 5 licenses, which they installed on my Mini 10v for me.
[I haven't bothered to upgrade to 10.6.3] I'm thinking I will soon. I feel better knowing that it's[SL 10.6.2 5 license Family pack upgrade] on the way.
Then I know I've supported them, for the work they did on the OS. Its not my fault they charge too much for hardware.

I built an i7(950 on a 1366 Gigabyte GA-X58A) tower with
2 x ATI 4870X2 cards, and 6GB of Tri-channel RAM for under $1,000 the last week of june. I may try running SL 10.6.3 on it, in dual-boot, with windows 7 Ultimate 64 or If it runs in 64 bit (I know the Mac Pro towers have Xeon nehalem CPU's which are 64 bit.) I might try to run SL in 64 bit with Windows 7 Ult. 64 in VirtualBox, or VMware Fusion

Okay, I am now fully up and running, and have updated to 10.6.4 and everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks for all the assists
