Unlimited users on that Mac Mini server license.
is the server mac mini physically bigger? or did they remove the optical drive? (very useless with my current mac mini)
They removed the optical drive and gave it a second hard drive.
This is now VERY tempting. Like Sir Harry I have a G4 MDD tower that is still running but it takes a LONG time to open my iPhoto or iTunes library.
Need any parts
My G4 MDD was acting in a home server capacity. This new Mac Mini would stack nicely with my AirPort
Last month I bought an HP Home Media server because I could administer it from my Mac. I was led astray because the EX485 was at a good price, but now I’m kicking myself.
