UPDATE !
ALL IS GOOD WITH THE Mac mini (one exception no big deal)
1. Apple got the registration thing straightened out. All is good, I was not sold a "used" unit by B&H.
2. As I previously posted, Everything works perfect with the printer with one big exception, I cant print from Safari, no big deal for me right now, since I use Firefox or Opera anyway, that works perfect. I want to repeat the printer does print from any and all Apple apps. Seems to be something with the latest Catalina and Safari only, dont know and who knows maybe it will work someday. It is strange, Apple tech thrown off by it too. I am sure I can pursue it when I have time. Tech support did at first blame some extentions I was using and adamant that once we removed them it would work, but, it didn't, she was surprised. I wasn't surprised I knew she would be wrong but I entertained her/tech support since they were in no rush to get me off the phone. (lets not forget Canon also contacted me with a phone number to call if I would like)
3. Apples tech support may not know everything and was ridiculous that I had to call 3 times (and the Safari issue still not addressed) but I will say this, wow, I mean, you get right through to them with almost no wait at all and they do try to solve your issue 100%. Like anything, sometimes its who you get. But at least, you can get right through and right or wrong, whether they solve the problem or not, they do make a concerted effort to solve the problem. I was on the phone with them for no less then an hour, very impressive.
4. So the fight is over for me, Honeymoon back on.
Really love this computer, so fluid and fast, it was just like anything (and still is to some degree) for a premium price you expect a premium experience, Apple delivers the experience for sure (though it took 3 calls with one unresolved issue remaining) the premium price paid should not have that one unresolved issue, again, I can work on it with them, maybe some day or another update. One thing for sure, hands down, Im glad I choose this machine, 25 years of Windows, this is a nice change, so far and again, it shouldn't have been this difficult but stuff happens.
5. In case you didn't notice, I am amazed how "fluid" and fast this machine is. I liken it to driving a BMW instead of an economy car, they will both get you there but the experience is really cool. I just cant get over the speed and silent operation. Maybe more so cause I am into technology and computers. and ... and ... and ..
