    Hi, could someone answer a question for us, im thinking about getting a Mac Mini and connect it to the LCD TV and use a wireless keypad and mouse, i was wondering if the Mac Mini would work with the mobile broadband fob directly into the USB or would i have to set it up for Wi-Fi, just spent an hour trying to find the answer to no avail, so any help is appreciated, cheers.

    As long as it's Mac compatible (which I assume it is), then yes, that should work fine. The Mini is a real computer, i.e. not a nettop, so anything that will work on a Mac will work on a Mini also.

    Thanks mate, you answered my next question as well, as in being an actual computer, all apple advertising ive seen goes on about movies, gaming and web surfing, the mobile broadband worked on the Power Mac G3 that packed it in and works on the wifes Mac Book Pro so it so happy days, have you got any experience with the Mac mini at all

    A bit. They are great little machines. Make great media centres.

    Are you planning to get one of the new ones?
