Neat setup! I currently use my old iBook and iTunes sharing to
control iTunes. I have tried VNC on the Newt - high cool factor, but
totally unstable, and I have tried VNC on the iBook - some
advantages over iTunes sharing, but too slow in comparison. The UX50
setup is very attractive, since it is small, energy efficient &
totally quiet, but I guess for the price I would rather put a quiet
drive in my iBook.
