Quick queston...what is mimic?

and what does it do? or what can be done with it?

its for clients, just say I have xlobby running on my 80" plasma tv (I wish I had one) and I have a pocket pc client running connected to the server....when I turn on MIMIC everything I do on the pocket pc will be done on the plasma tv.....so if I move into the music section on the ppc then the server will also move into the music section.....hence the word "mimic"....the server mimics what the client is doing when its on.

It is for when you are using a client with xlobby. For example if you have a ppc client and you are at the main menu on it and click on movies (which takes you to the ppcmovies screen) if you have mimic on, it will take you to the same named screen on the server minus the ppc part in front.

Hope that makes sense.

Where exactly is the bit for mimic to turn it on?

I believe its on the front menu screen the button is the small round one with two arrows one going left - the other right.
