Re: mac mini 2011 info
Hi Mike, It seems to do the job in terms of no lag in response when connected. Mind you I haven't hooked it up to an actual VGA screen, so I must do that and compare.

Re: mac mini 2011 info
Hi, David, The Mac Mini used to work with an adapter plugged into the monitor port, but no longer, especially with Safari, the web browser. VO does not read web pages properly and gives unending busy messages. I haven't experimented with other applications, but I use the web so much that it's not worth it to me to try it without a monitor. I love the small amount of space it takes up on my desk, but it's not truly portable in that way.

Re: mac mini 2011 info
Hi, I'd imagine this might be one of those your-mileage-may-vary situations. I'd recommend, if this issue is an important one to you, that you go to a Mac store and try it out without a monitor, especially in Safari, and see if it works for you. I don't have the most recent model (I got mine last April) and it doesn't work for me. HTH, Teresa On Aug 15, 2011, at 8:29 AM, Bill Holton wrote: Are you using the newest model?

That was my problem exactly. On the Mac keyboard the command keys are just to the sides of the spacebar, on the PC keyboard they are reversed.
