MacNotables #914: Christopher Breen on the Mac mini as Media Center, Mozy Online Backup and Stupid Forum Posters

Christopher Breen

Macworld Senior Editor Christopher Breen discusses his adventures with the online backup service Mozy, an unanticipated benefit of using the password manager, 1Passworld and dealing with difficult people in the Macworld forums. Chris’ latest big project is building a home media center around a Mac mini, and he reviews the results, concluding that while everything is getting geekier as we go along, online content deliver has made the effort involved more worthwhile.
