Hello Marty; I also have a website. I can't answer your questions about text editing in mac verses windows because I never did any editing of my website on my windows computer. I can tell you that I have been very happy with cute ftp for publishing to my website. It is fairly easy to set up. And I only use a small portion of its feautres. After install, you can do a download to install a copy of your webpage folders on your mac mini. You can sinc from computer to site, site to computer; or use the mirror feature that compares to make sure all the same files are in both places. If you save a current copy of your site on your windows computer before starting, thne you could explore making changes and uploading them with your mac knowing that you can always fall back to the saved copy on the windows machine to reload the last working version of your site should you need to. I hope that helps. Good luck and welcome to mac, Max On Sep 25, 2008, at 12:16 AM, Marty Rimpau wrote: > Hi all, I took the plunge, and got a mac mini, it is the one for $799, > but I wasn't sure if I would have speech break ups, as when I was > listening to Mike arrigo's tutorial, it would repeat words twice, like > me-messages, when returning to the row, so I had them put some more > ram > in there, but when I get it, I won't know how to do some things.
