Yes, I think your right. through lots of conversations with various people and messages from this list, I have decided to go with the base imac and since someone mentioned the upgrade to mavrick might be twenty or thirty dollars or even maybe free, I think I can't go wrong. From the messages I've received from this list I've determined that parralel is out and fusion or bootcamp is the way to go. As I said in a previous message I'm still not 100% confident to let go of windows, so I do half to make the desition of either or. I am so unfamiliar with mac that I don't even know the terminology and listening to different messages I find my self wondering where the command button is and doesn't voiceover start automatically etc. On the other hand I think if I'm patient all these simple little questions will be answered in time. The question I have now that I forgot to ask in my original post is this, Since I'll be running windows on this mac will I still be able to install jaws for the windows portion of the computer, and does it matter which I have chosen bootcamp or fusion?

I love my iMac, and I can't even see the screen. When I did the calculations to decide the same question you're considering, it worked out to be cheaper and easier to just get an iMac rather than buying the Mac Mini, the keybaord, the TrackPad or Mouse, the monitor, the upgrades etcetera. The iMac is more powerful and I really like its extra power. I'd even recommend upgrading the RAM of your iMac to at least 16GB. I'd also read quite a few reports from people saying they had difficulty setting up the Mac Mini with a bluetooth keyboard. You need to press Command-F5 to get VoiceOver running, but the Mac Mini, from what I read, didn't come with the mouse or keyboard already set up. So it was kinda a catch 22 with needing VoiceOver to set up the keyboard, but needing the keyboard to set up VoiceOver. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
