[QUOTE="johnnyluu, post: 70241, member: 1314"] If it is attached to a network then you can save to it via that. There is a target disk mode: you could hook it up to anther mac and have it act as a firewire connected external hard drive. I Don't think that works with Mac to PC though. I might be wrong. With the spec that it is, if you don't up the ammount of ram, you're not really going to fully enjoy using OS X. OS X is ok with 256 meg of ram installed, but you really don't experience how amazing it is unless you put a Gig of ram in it. It might be better to get the ram from a 3rd party though, apple sell theirs at quite a high price! With the graphics card, you'll get decent performance but not great. If you get enough performance out of a 32 meg graphics card with a PC, you'll get better performance out of the mac with the same ammount of video ram. What do you mean by this? If you mean installer programs to help install programs onto your mac mini, you don't really need one. The built in installer is great. If you mean an installer program to help you create an installer for your own developed software then have a look here: [url]http://wincent.com/a/products/install/[/url] Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
