ahh, got ya - will move AirTunes into the dining room, still
controllable (I would imagine) from a Mac Mini in the living room
(connected to the TV).

I do like the idea of being able to view net movies on my Tv yes, also
being able to browse the net might one day come in handy....

I was thinking about converting many of my films to AVI or what have
you, so I have my library easily accessible, which I couldn't easily
do with Apple TV, without getting N wireless at least

I think a Mini would be the most flexible, and easier to pass off as a
business expense!

hmm, decisions decisions!
