Thanks for the reply, Steve. Do you by any chance have your Mac Mini hooked up to a LCD TV ("home theater" syle)?
Since my original inquiry about the Mac Mini was posted, I've been scared off of them a bit - because I was browsing through the "official" Apple support forums and it seems that people have various technical problems with their Mac Mini-LCD TV connection, or with their ethernet/wireless connection.Perhaps what I saw on the Mac forums only represent a (relatively) small percentage of Mac Mini users - but there seemed to be enough there for me to have serious worries as to whether owning a Mac Mini would be too stressful for me from an operational/maintenance standpoint. My technical savviness is pretty much abysmal - and fortunately for me (knocks on wood), I am not used to having many technical problems with my computer. I just want tobe able to plug in my Mac Mini (or any computer) and not have to worry about "troubleshooting" various technical problems. Given my condition, I don't seem to have the energy for all of that.
Have you had many technical problems with your Mac Mini - such as problems maintaining the screen display, or with the ethernet/wireless connection, etc.?
