I've been using my Imac for over 3 years. The only problem I've ever
had with it was keyboards. That's not an Apple problem. It's a
certain black cat that lives here who would stand on the keyboard.
If she wasn't a good mouser, well, she would have been in a lot more
trouble. Now when I leave the machine regardless of what it's doing,
I put the keyboard in a place where if she thinks about standing on
it or walking on it, it isn't going to ballance her and she's going
to get to test whether she will land feet first, but the keyboard
itself will not fall. Kitty diving board.

Cheryl,
The main advantage to an iMac over a Mini is performance. The
speed difference is considerable. The primary reason you have
those options for displays is for multi-media applications such as
iMovieHD which of course is not very useful for people who are
blind. I also believe that an iMac will be useful longer than a
Mini as its power and speed will outlast that of a Mini. The only
advantage I see to a 20 inch display over the 17 inch one is for
those multi-media situations. We have some iMacs at our school and
the individuals using them are extremely impressed. It is
considerably more expensive, although once you add keyboard, mouse
and display, it's really not that much more. Hope that was the
sort of thing you were looking for.
