I'm just using the TV as a monitor for the Mini. What advantage does AppleTV have over that?
I kind of want one, but I don't know why.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Your Pages "document" is actually a folder with a bunch of smaller files inside. You need to zip it up first or something.
AH!
Scola, if you weren't on the other side of the continent from me, I'd totally kiss you right now.

If you need to print it, export it as a PDF first. If they need to edit it in Pages at the other end, you'll have to zip it up. (ctrl-click the file in the finder, choose "Create Archive")
No need for editing on the other end. It's just a work invoice that I want to email out so I can get paid.

If you don't already have a mini, it's cheaper?

Gris, you'd totally get a kiss, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the only reason I'm looking at it. The mini I would put there instead would be over a grand. It probably does some fancier stuff out of the box with respect to getting media off of other devices, but I'm sure it's nothing someone hasn't written for the Mini itself in their spare time.

Got it. For some reason I thought ita already had a mini.
So I have no excuse to buy an AppleTV? Good for my bank account, I suppose, but also a little sad.
OTOH, my ancient iMac is wigging out on me so there may be shakeups in the home network anyhow.

I think I just might have bought an Apple TV. Which really won't stop me from buying a Mini, but hopefully has put it off some.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If you plan on renting HD movies from Apple, you can only view them on an AppleTV, and not on a Mini.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Some enterprising hackers have been known to make Apple TVs into dual (and more) boot Macs. [link]
