hi all. So lets see, as i understand it and i might indeed be wrong would not have been the first time, if i go out and buy the Mac mini server, i can use it happily with out a monitor, but if i just get the usual mac mini the special kid is still needed? I dunno about you, but i know that i would find it really irritating too have a lil tail hanging outta the box, but i also know that not all are as picky with that as i am :) best sandi
