Exactly Ed, but we seem to be moving that direction. What about this, would it work?
Put a Mini on it’s own network, a network solely for the automated devices….NOTHING else is on that Mac, only the operating system and automation devices. If they break into one of the devices on that network they will get nothing…it’s an empty machine, no contacts, no passwords, no account numbers, no investment information, no credit cards, nothing….. If file sharing is off would this not be a way to have little damage done to your personal information? I was going to call TimeWarner to see how they suggest doing this but before I do I would like your thoughts.
