Morning all, Some of you probably know me from other lists and I've joined this one being an owner of a new Macbook Pro. I have been a JFW user for going on 14 years now but have never used a Mac until 2 days ago. I'm wondering if folks can give me a good starting point for orienting myself to

Thanks for the reply Cody. I received it with my apple mail program, but I'm still having trouble with this list. Can anyone tell me why I didn't receive the post I sent, in my apple mail. I received the posts before and after my post, but not mine. I can see that it posted to the list.

It does give you some capabilities as well. You'll be able to hook up your mini to any VGA monitor or NTSC TV to share stuff with others. Not a bad thing to have in your bag. If you really want good behavior without a monitor I think this is about as good as it gets. CB Chris Snyder wrote: Th

This problem was covered earlier this month. Short version is that without a monitor the Mini forever scans for one, bringing the system to a crawl and causing other bad behavior. One trick was to hook up a TV adapter to make the mini think there was a monitor hooked up, but that stopped workin

Hi Sarah, I have a monitor at home for it, but I'd like to take it with me when I travel, and lugging around a monitor isn't really practical. There must be a way to make it think it has one attached. Friendly, Chris On May 24, 2010, at 7:11 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > I would just buy a monote

Hi Allie, nice to meet you as well. Yeah, I actually went for the mac mini because it was even smaller than a laptop even with a bluetooth keyboard. Now, if I can't find a workaround for this monitor thing, I may have to buy a macbook as well. I'd rather not shell out another $800 or whatever fo
