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
operating system comes out. The reason i need a Mac is so that I
can 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.
