OT - Save the Mac Mini

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Excellent thinking, Paul and others who have signed up. I'm not  
currently using my Mini right now, but it serves as an excellent Back- 
up for everything I'm doing. To save me some time, is there a way  
that I can just hook the Mac Mini up to my Intel Mac as an external  
hard drive? Maybe with a Firewird cable? Right now I  have to  
transfer stuff to an external drive which is connected, then boot up  
the Mini and transfer stuff again. I don't have any of my Macs  
Networked for security reasons and my piece of mind. (smile)
