Hello,
This is what I found. Without a monitor, I was unable to play DVD
Movies, the unit said that no video was available. So I connected a
DVI to Com-posit adapter without connecting a monitor and all is
well. Now Movies play just fine.

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
