I own a Mac Mini and you need to make it known VoiceOver will be used
and have a dvd burner installed in it. It'll be a little more expensive
at first but will pay for itself when you start doing things with large
volumes of data. When you get the unit, and get it set up needs an
ethernet cable for internet no phone modems they're too slow. Also a
couple disks come with the machine. When you put the operating system
disk in, and don't type anything for a few seconds the computer will
start asking you questions you answer with the keyboard and go from
there. Most of the peripheral connections are usb 2.0 and monitors run
at most $100.00 U.S. in places like Wal-Mart. Keyboards are cheap as
are mice. Speakers can run into money but the mac mini hasn't got the
connector for the really expensive speakers. Those connectors have
edges in them and very few pins. Speaker jack is farthest to the left
Mic to its right. Power button on far right. If more memory is
available than 2 gig and you can afford it, buy it and have it installed
for you. Hard drive capacities have increased in later models than the
Mini I now have, but if offered optional extra hard drive space maybe
better to buy that than more memory. In future as a separate purchase,
buy a time capsule for backups of your stuff. They connect to the mac
Mini wirelessly. If you work for the government, state so when buying
you get discounts possibly even in England. Find your local mac user's
group and start attending meetings, the friends you make there can be
very informative.

Good evening all.
I'm new to the list, so please bear with my ignorance.
I'm thinking about buying a Mac Mini and of course accessing it through VO.
Is there anything I should be aware of before doing this, based on the
overall experience of list members?
It appears to be the least expensive route into apple products to me, but I
could be wrong.
I'm based in the uk if that makes a jot of difference.
Thanks.
Joe
