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.

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!

should someone blind be forced into paying for a monitor they can't see

running up extra electricity costs.

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.

for the setup. I think when I had my mini back in 08 that it was required
