Having played the "buy a mac mini to get MacOS" game, I can tell
you that I was very disappointed.

The Mac Studio we have now is a few steps up, but it's not worth
what we paid for it.  It's clunky, and the security policies on
it are one-offs.  It's a UNIX system, but they've bolted on extras
that are downright unfriendly.

Meanwhile Mrs. vallor's new workstation is still waiting in the wings;
turns out, she expanded the scope of "make a space on her desk"
into "re-organize her office". ;)
