I have recently bought a Dual Core Mac Mini & am absolutely delighted with it. I have upgraded the memory to a full 2Gb.

I am still getting to grips with the software & have come across 3 things I would like your help with, if you can help that is?

1 – I would like to Sync my Calendar events for more than just a few months, which Ical only does. I use Entourage as my Calendar & E-mail client & want to sync with my Sonyericsson K750. Is there any software out there that with Sync my Calendar like I could with Outlook 2003 & Sony Eriksson synchronisation software?

2 – I was looking into adding an External Firewire Hard Drive & using that as my boot disc. An 8mb Cache 7200rpm & that just to make things a little faster as well as the extra storage.
Can anyone recommend a good External Firewire Hdd? 150GB minimum.
Do you have to always press a series of key on the keyboard every time you boot from an External Hdd or can u set & forget?

3 – Looking for a good comfortable Mac friendly mouse. I have read about the new Wireless Might Mouse and found it to have mixed reviews. Any suggestions?

4 – Photoshop Elements 4, can it be used on the Intel Mac Mini’s?

I think that covers it for now, Phew.
Cheers
 
1. ^ weeks sycning is max as far as I can remember and there is an option for that in iSync when the phone is connect (it is the drop down menu), but the problem is I haven't synced my phone in a whhile since it is with a friend (i had to edit this my english was horrible)

2. LaCie disks are generally the best for Apple. But, personally, I would recommend buying an enclosure (Macally or Other World Computing are the best for Mac in my opinion) and adding a HDD your desired size because with some companys you can get 5 years warrenty on the HDD while with all manufactures you get a year max

3. There is a logitech mouse & keyboard combo made for mac (520 i believe), while in general any mouse works that you feel comfortable with. The Mighty Mouse is something that changes from person to person. I would try it out in an Apple Store and see what you think

4. It runs, but slowly because it isn't universal yet as far as i know, so it will run through rosetta which will slow down a bit

Hope i could help
