Q: Replacing Mac Mini
Hello, my Mac mini six years old now, I'd like to prepare for the day when I need a new one, would it be simpler to use a time machine to transfer photos etc from one Mac mini to another, or just transfer them directly from my present Mac mini to a new one when I eventually buy it? Thank you.

time machine and/or migration assistant would work, both are built into OS X and compatible between different iterations of OS X so there is nothing other than your data backed up or you can simply migrate from the old mac mini to the new one when you get it. If all the data is on that computer you can migrate it over in its entirety.
