I am using a new mac mini hooked up to large 24 inch LCD HDMI screen for my
work.
I am also starting to use TeXShop.

I need some help and working advice on installation of  GNUPLOT. I had
Octave up.




Mac mini aluminum

  Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

  Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

  Number Of Processors: 1

  Total Number Of Cores: 2

  L2 Cache: 3 MB

  Memory: 2 GB



I am using Apple wireless keyboard for over a year now with a wired mouse.
The battery on keyboard use rechargeable apple battery- cost effective.
Keyboard - no issue. For wired mouse-wish it was wireless..the wire is too
short for comfort.
Thanks a lot,
Mark
