I had a chance to spend some time really looking at a Mac yesterday and feel 
like I'm more comfortable with it.  Thanks Gabe!!!

I have a few further questions though if I may.

1. I experienced some difficulty working in the Internet Browser, Safari.  As 
you know, when you load a page you are then able to move around with the right 
and left arrows in combination with the control and option keys.  When I moved 
to the html content and hit the command to interact with the HTML, I found I 
then had to move line by line with the arrow keys.  Is there a command that 
works to tell the Voice Over to just read the entire page without having to 
enter commands.  When reading a lot of text, having to hit a key for each line 
gets old and tough on the fingers.

2. Related to question #1, is there a command that will either allow you to 
skip past all links and go to the text on a web page or, is there a command to 
be able to skip a lot of links at once.  For example, in Windows with Jaws I 
can be on a web page and just hit page down to get past links or to move 
through a page faster.  Often I look at specific pages several times a day and 
know that if I hit page down twice I get to the text.  This is kind of 
important to me as hitting arrow keys to move link by link really stinks.

3. I'm going to check out the Apple site but can someone briefly contrast what 
is different between an iMac and a Mac Mini other than the obvious things like 
needing a keyboard and monitor if you use a mini?  How big is the normal hard 
disk in a Mac Mini, things like that?

4. I have backed up data on two external hard disks.  These files consist of 
word documents, photographs belonging to my wife, music, stuff like that.  I'm 
assuming that the drives which are PC compatible will just connect to the Mac 
and be readable?

I'm all but ready to order up a Mac but had these few last questions!

You guys have been very helpful and thanks.
