Thanks.
I would try that, but, our TV is several years old with an F connector.
But, I am going to try running headless for a few days and see what happens.

Subject: Re: waiting on an adapter
Hi Joseph,
Congrats on your new mini! I have one and love it. Here's one thing you
might consider trying If the sluggishness of VO becomes too painful before
your VGA adapter arrives: If you have a TV or other device with an HDMI
input, you might try connecting it to your mini via the HDMI port that comes
standard on the latest minis. I haven't personally tried to do this as I
have a monitor with a DVI input and so I use the included HDMI to DVI
adapter. If you do decide to try this, here's an Apple knowledgebase article
about the mid 2010 mini's HDMI capabilities:

Hi:
I have just ordered a new Mac Mini and can't wait to try it out. I saw
one at the store in Chattanooga (a Best Buy store) and was impressed with
the overall responsiveness of VoiceOver. This, in spite of using a
high-quality voice, such as Alex. When I use a high-quality voice on
Windows, I get no such performance.
One small problem.
I don't have a display I can plug in. I have a VGA monitor and have
ordered, after the fact, the mini display port to vga adapter which should
allow me to plug in my monitor once it arrives.
However, it most likely will arrive 3 or more days after the Mac Mini
arrives here.
Mike arrigo has told me, already, that VoiceOver will perform sluggishly
without a display connected.
Mike, feel free to chime in here, if you wish, but, input from other users
is appreciated.
How sluggish will it be. Will it be to the point that I need to go have a
snack while I press arrow keys or perform VO commands, or, can I maybe
live with it for 3 or 4 days?
Have any of you played with this and maybe gotten arround it, at least
temporarily?
Any help is much appreciated.
