Hi, all.
I find myself in some difficulty. I have available to me one of the
new Mac Minis. However, I do not have a monitor at all times. Before I

it without a monitor. If so, are any settings required? If not,
I'm not sure about the new Mini but mine requires one for Safari. Everything
else runs fine. Have you thought about getting a KVM to use? That would
allow you to use a single monitor on multiple computers.

I, like Erik, carry around a dedicated MP3 player, but see the merit
of both that approach and the use of the iPhone. My views may be summed up
as whatever works best. Having said that, there are a few things in Erik's
