    Picked up a 2011 Mac Mini. Even though I've not once used it, didn't really want to give up the optical drive from the 2010 Mini but it was a nice deal that I couldn't pass (Best Buy open box).

    I've always dreaded having to re-pair the BT keyboard/mouse/trackpad, but I had to when I juggled between the two Minis to transfer stuff over. To my surprise I didn't have to re-pair when I switched back to my 2010 Mini - it just reconnected itself on power-up. Same when I switched back to the 2011. I'm going to see if it'll keep all three pairings if I pair it again on my Air.

    I have never seen any other BT devices that allows multiple pairings. Another of one of those nice little touches of Apple stuff.
