You have to have a monitor connected to a Mac Mini or it won't work
properly? I run my mac mini without a monitor unless someone sighted is
coming over to help me with it.

Well the Imac doesn't have a separate monitor, the monitor is in the unit,
yes ok blind people don't use monitors however if there's any trouble they're
handy to have around <smile>.
Now using a Mac Mini without a monitor isn't straight forward, I'm told that
you have to have one connected.
Finally, you've underlined my main objection about the Mac Mini when you said
make sure you get plenty of RAM in it, it annoys me that this machine comes
sealed so therefore you have to be precise about the configuration you get.

I think the Mac Mini is an excellent choice, especially if you are totally
blind and therefore don't need a monitor, or else have a spare monitor
sitting around some place. Make sure to get plenty of RAM in it. I think
you can take it to an Apple Store and have the memory upgraded...not
sure...but you won't want to do that. I have an older Mac Mini that still
works like a champ and I think they are great machines for newcomers to the
Mac. After a while you will likely want to move up to the MacBook or iMac
side of things. Mac Minis are a great place to start, though.

Hey guys,
Alright, it's time to make the plunge. Any ideas for a starter mac, that
can do the following.
As long as I can do email, web surfing, and some audio editing, I'm happy.
As long as voiceover doesn't burp every time you hit a key. Graphics
aren't
my thing obviously. I've heard a lot about the mac minny.
Any thoughts? I think a desktop or something along those lines would be
the
way to go.
Any thoughts?
Sincerest Regards,
Jed
