Hi Rex We have our wireless key in the Mac Mini which is downstairs, and the modem is upstairs. So we get a really good signal and it works pretty fast on Safari. I love the keyboard Martin chose as it isn't only full-size, but has a USB port on it to use for a pen or something. The Mini itself is just a small square box, and he has attached a pair of small Bose speakers to it.
