    What unit is that? Is it a desktop that is customized for the TV/entertainment all-in-one? Let us know what's in it (at least for those of us not that familiar with the Mac line). It looks bigger than a Mac Mini...
    Peace

    It's a plain Mac Mini...I got it for the Frontrow software, and something new to tinker with.

    Going to put it on a 40" flat panel and hook up a wireless keyboard/mouse to it.

    Those things are gorgeous; it's almost like they are small pieces of furniture, rather than electronics equipment.

    Wow! I thought Mac Minis were smaller, more cube-like (or am I thinking of another small formfactor PC?). Cool! Good luck setting it up, it looks like it will be fun! One day I have to convince my wife that we need one for the TV... get rid of BrightHouse's DVR.
    Peace

    XP, I don't see anything amazing about Vista...it's reminding me of the Windows ME days.

    It's too much of a hand holding OS.

    BTW...any good sites for free software/tips?

    Haven't messed with news groups in years...most all of them now are paid services.

    www.newshosting.com costs me $155 per year and is worth every penny. Unlimited downloads and I believe 8 feeds (I only use 3). FANTASTIC retention too! Had 'em for about 4 years now, not a single regret.

    You might want to cheek out crossover for mac to win your windows programs
    i have about 10 windows programs installed and running fine. Beats loading up a virus laden os.

    All free software sites.
