You can, but it is painful. I did that for months, and people on this list kept telling me to get a monitor as I kept complaining of slow performance, choppy speech, delayed keyboard reaction, and other problems. Well, I finally bit the bullet and got the adapter to plug my old flat panel monitor into the mini and things sped way up; no more delays or anything. My only slowness now comes from my having just 2gb of ram, but it is way, way better than when I was running with no screen at all. You don't have to have the screen turned on, just plugged into power and the mini so the mac can detect it and be happy. On Oct 24, 2012, at 5:16 PM, Kliphton <kliph...@gmail.com> wrote:
