Wow! Thanks for all the responses. I really appreciate it.
For now I guess I will connect my monitor and not rely just on an
adapter being present.
Not the worst thing in the world but like others, I hope apple fixes
this in a future OS release.
Lets hope it doesn't require different hardware but I doubt it.

The general consensus is that it is best to have some kind of monitor
connected to a Mac Mini, or at least, with the newer models. Early on,
one could get away with having just a video adaptor connected, but
apparently, at this point, especially using Safari, there seems to be
a lot of lag and slow down to lead most to believe a monitor is the
best solution.

You need to have the monitor connected, but not powered on. I am

a try.
ENjoy your new Mini. I just purchased one and really like it.
