Sorry for my ignorance, but if a mac mini is a desktop, what's the point of
having wireless when you can't move the thing? Just curious. Thanks!

You'll be fine with a Mac Mini, I think. Mac Minis are desktop machines,
just on the lower end. You will ahve wireless capability with a Mac
Mini, just as you would with a MacBook or pretty much any other Mac
model. The new version of the OS comes out some time in October, but for
all we know it could be the 31st. Unles syou specificly need more speed,
RAM, Hard Drive, or other specific features of the MacBook, its probably
more than you need. Just learning Mac OS X and VoiceOver, you'll do fine
with a Mini.

I am planning on buying a Macintosh computer as soon as the new

learn enough about it to support other Mac users here at the Math
Department at the University of Wisconsin.
Two questions:
1. When will the new version of MacOS be out?
2. Can i get by with a Mac mini? Will I be able to learn enough about
MacOS to help other users if I only have a Mac mini?
I'm sure I could get a Mac laptop, right? That would essentially be the
same as having a desktop machine. Plus, it would allow me to learn about
configuring wireless for the Mac. So I will probably get a laptop if the
mini doesn't cut it.
