Hi there,

Im a long(DOS-Vista Beta) time window user and just got a the new mac mini today and wondered if anyone can answer a question for me. it has to do with network storage. here goes..

in iphoto, is it possible to view photos from a networked windows machine? so i don’t have to have them physically on the mac mini?

also, is it possible to change the location of "my pictures" in finder to a networked folder on a windows machine. I can see my networked folder and drives just fine. just wanna integrate it more into finder via my pictures and my documents. I could do this with my documents on windows just by right clicking and going to properties and just changing the target folder.

I think aperture will be able to do networked photos but its not ready for universal binary so ill have to wait on that.

Thanks everybody.
