There are many others that I haven't yet watched; my connection is really slow so that isn't a really quick way for me to learn, but they are good. -- Kathy

Yeah, on the "theatre" web page, you get the user level OS-X tips on the left, and on the right, you have the server stuff.

I just want to thank everyone here that helped me figure out how to accomplish what I need. As a result I've not only talked the library into getting a Mac as a replacement for the old Windows PC, we're going to replace it with *two* Mac Mini's and double our patrons' access. :-) -- thanks!

Sorry, I didn't follow the earlier parts of this thread; but I hope that someone pointed out that once you have two Mini's installed, adding an Airport Base Station will be a very low-cost way to provide WiFi and thus Internet access to those patrons who may want to bring their own laptops to the library. |
