[marshall]

Any hints and tips for a lifetime windows user thats just bought a mates mac mini?

What interesting things can you do with it?

Ive heard people use them as media centers? Its currently on my hd tv....

Also, whats with it doing this in the attachment. everytime i open chrome :/

Slowly getting to grips with it...

+ xbmc = one sexy little media centre

Ive just downloaded xbmc. Does that use files on the mac OR can you access films etc from elsewhere. I know the jailbroken apple tv guys use it to watch pretty much anything they desire

Will play from pretty much any type of network share you can show it

Play with iPhoto with your Clio shots is good fun.
But if u like track days etc, use iMovie and get to grips with it (its easy im a Apple Trainer) and make some really good professional looking videos for friends and family and YouTube.
