Hi Allie, nice to meet you as well. Yeah, I actually went for the mac mini because it was even smaller than a laptop even with a bluetooth keyboard. Now, if I can't find a workaround for this monitor thing, I may have to buy a macbook as well. I'd rather not shell out another $800 or whatever for it though, so I've been looking on Craigslist to find someone who has a slightly outdated one. There's a guy who wants to sell his for $650. It's two years old and has a 2.4GHZ processor, 2GB ram and 160GB hard drive. It's a Macbook White, not a pro. Do you, or does anyone here have thoughts about that price for such a machine? Or does anyone know where I could do better?
