You could also just get AirServer (http://www.airserver.com) for the mini and make it your target for iTunes on your Pro. If you've got an iOS device you could then control it all from Apple's Remote app. Mike _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
