howdy _, I've been thinking of getting a mac mini to connect to my TV, so I can browse my music/videos/photos etc with front row. I currently have Air Tunes, which was fine until I sold my G4 powerbook (going to get a MBP soonish, though might have to wait a little bit till after tax man!), but now I can't control my itunes lib unless I go upstairs to the office! I don't have many movies on my mac, but I do have 90gb of music. so, would a G4 mini off ebay for £200, with an external HD, hooked up to my LCD tv via VGA be a better bet than the Apple TV, which to use properly might mean investing in the new Airport Express router? jb -- jon bennett t: +44 (0) 1225 341 039 w: http://www.jben.net/ iChat (AIM): jbendotnet Skype: jon-bennett
