we’re not in the 90’s anymore
It wasn’t that long ago when it was hard just to get 2 pc’s to communicate on a local network. Tonight I’m sitting in bed watching a movie on my iPad, and thinking how well things work together these days. Because the video file I’m watching is stored on a drive on my Drobo that’s connected via FireWire to my Mac Mini, which is connected via cat5 to my iMac, which is running AIr Video software that live converts the .avi file into an h.264 stream and wirelessly streams it to the iPad, which displays it live without requiring any local storage. And it all works really well.
