Mac mini Test Drive Offer Pulled

In an apparent marketing change of mind, and without warning or comment in its online retail store, Apple has canceled its Mac mini "test drive" offer after only one day.

Test drive a Mac mini
Exclusive Online Offer
Try it for 30 days - send it back if you don't love it.

Macworld has received confirmation from Apple that the offer has been removed.
