Mac mini, the Ultimate Toilet Paper Dispenser

Last Christmas, I prayed for a Mac mini upgrade from Apple. Unfortunately, Uncle Santa Steve did not make my dream came true and Apple failed to reveal anything better for Mac mini's evolution. It sucks!
Nowadays, the existing Mac mini is still stubbornly powered by the out-dated Intel's Core Duo CPU, running the CPU speed at 1.66GHz or 1.83GHz respectively. I do not hear anything significant from the Apple Campus since last year, and obviously Apple will soon drop the Mac mini.
The only way I can see that Mac mini is ended up to serve its glorious duty as a toilet paper holder in my home.
R.I.P. Mac mini 2005-2007.
