Fair enough! OS X has a built in FTP server, so i have anything on the mac that needs to be burned to DVD i just FTP to the mac from the pc and burn it from there.

He's got a Mac Mini - and he's only got it because I showed him how good Macs are!

Macs are very upgrade-unfriendly. If you think you might want something, it is far easier, and normally cheaper to buy it like that, than trying to upgrade later.

Re: Getting a Mac Mini advice needed
Thats another reason as to why I have now decided on the iMac, plus it seems pretty good for the price and I have heard people say the G5 is a good processor
