Is that a joke, Fonso?
'Cut' is simply Option-x (that's the button with the apple symbol on it, , followed by the letter 'x'). Paste is then option-v. Copy is option-c. Get the drift?
In general, shortcuts you use in windows with the Ctrl key, are done with the option key is OSX.
Back to the issue of HD content from a Mini. Have people had trouble with the DVI to HDMI cables? I heard some don't play nicely with all screens/TVs.

That works for text, but not for files. Unless something changed in Leopard.
What he's referring to is that Windows allows to to select, cut, and paste a file from one location to another. Thus deleting the file in one location while moving it to the new location at the same time.
One a Mac when you select, cut, paste it actually copies and not cuts. Thus it leaves the file in the first location and makes a second copy in the second location. This means you have to then take another step and delete the file in the first location. This is further complicated on a Mac by the fact this if the file "move" is from one folder to another in the same drive it DOES delete the file at the first location, but if they're on different drives it leaves the file at the first location. I never understood why it was done this way unless Microsoft has a patent on it or something.
In any case this is real off topic and this thread should be moved or closed.
