Hi Doug -- Thank you, as you're not on dba-Tech, I will try to ask you my questions on Mac Mini usage here as I suppose your answers would be interesting for this group members: Main questions: - What (wireless) keyboard and mouse do you use with your Mac Mini? - Would it be a viable option to use a RealVNC Viewer (free version as paid one doesn't exists) running on an MS Windows system to control a Mac Mini (with RealVNC Server paid version)? Secondary questions, just reply if you have any experience and/or wish to share your opinion: - What Mac Mini configuration would be good enough for iPhone/iPad development with iOS 8 SDK and XCode? - Have you ever tried to connect a Mac Mini via HDMI to a Smart TV as e.g. Samsung UN40H6350 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV ( http://tinyurl.com/lvgmw9j) to use it as a display? Thank you. -- Shamil Sunday, February 01, 2015 2:13 PM -08:00 from Doug Steele <dbdoug at gmail.com>: >Hi Shamil: > >I've connected from Windows VMs to Windows computers using the paid version >of RealVNC, but not to Macs. > >I'm not on dba-Tech, but feel free to email me at rescodoug at gmail if you >have any questions.
