Well, now I see the significance of theavrock's handle. Maybe he'll adjust the topic title to include Tech-o-Wienies in addition to geeks. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Clicking through to the MacWorld Plex Review, I see it says, "Unlike iTunes, Plex doesn’t make a copy of your media files and pull them into its own organized hierarchy, opting instead to let you control the folder structure of your media." I find that iTunes copying business annoying. I'm going to need to look into Plex. At any rate, I have my Mac Mini hooked up to a 46" HDTV. There's no need for external storage yet. The 500 GB hard drive and the Time Machine backup are plenty for the time being. The most annoying thing is the mouse. The first thing I did was find a driver that would speed it up. But I'd really like a decent pointing device that's something other than a mouse. Frequently, I'll just use screen sharing and run the Mini from my MacBook Pro.
