No one is ever forced to purchase something they don't need. Purchasing something you didn't need is a personal choice.
If you purchased a mac mini and then needed a screen / monitor for it, think about who actually made you get the mini, you could have got a mac book or I mac. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Roy Sent: Sunday, 11 July 2010 6:50 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Using a Mac Mini without a monitor Please, spare us this! While I think it would be nice if the mini worked without a monitor, please, don't give us this stuff about being forced to buy something you don't need. Personally, I have a vary old monitor which I keep around just in case I get in to trouble where sighted assistance is necessary. I am sure that most of us who came from windows know that does happen from time to time to even the best of us. So, even though I have never yet had a problem on the mac where sighted assistance was definitely necessary, I have learned that having a vary inexpensive monitor around is a good idea regardless. You can buy a used 1 for $50 or less, especially an old 15 inch LCD or something like that. On my mini, I have found that any old monitor would solve the problem and didn't even have to be turned on. So, I hope we don't go off on the whole needing a monitor thing, because, it's really trivial! On Jun 27, 2010, at 4:29 PM, Chris Moore wrote: > Why is it sluggish without a monitor? That does not make sense.

Even with setup, I didn't use a mouse, but it was kind of tough, without the mouse plus, I didn't really know much about the Mack. But other than that, my Mack Mini works fine without the monitor, kind of sluggish with Safari though. >> Hth, >> Courtney >> On Jun 27, 2010, at 4:30 PM, Cody Hurst wrote: >> >>> I"m not so sure that a monitor is required, although it might be for >>> the initial setup. I can say for sure a keyboard and mouse are required for the setup. I think when I had my mini back in 08 that it was required but I'm unsure On Jun 27, 2010, at 3:47 PM, Aman Singer wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, all. >>>> I find myself in some difficulty.
