Re: New Media Server....What about Mac based?!

[Russ Spooner <spooner@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think with Frontrow 2 and a firewire array, you should be pretty much

It is currently rumoured that the new Minis (due to be announced pretty

anything else, with the added bonus of having an iPod dock built in!

Plus they are purty.
