Not no. Most people who buy the Mac mini buys the display adapter. This makes the Mac mini think the display is hooked to it. Then acting normal. I don't know why but it is just this way. Just ask anyone who has a Mac Mini and they will say you don't have to have a display hooked to it but you do need the display adapter hooked to it.

Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at <http://www.cherrypal.com> www.cherrypal.com to use windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
