Hi there.
I am new to the list and don't have a mac yet but my mac mini is coming
tomorrow.
I have been concerned about this monitor issue and only just joined the
list so my apologies in advance for a subject that has probably been
beaten to death.
1. Do I need to have a nomitor connected?
You need to have the monitor connected, but not powered on. I am not sure about
it being actually plugged into the wall, so give it a try.
ENjoy your new Mini. I just purchased one and really like 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

Hi Don!
I'll also add that with Mac the layout on screen stays the same so a blind
person can work side by side with someone sighted and they do not have to look
at a screen that has been rearranged!

Hi,
And just to add to this, voiceover works best with a monitor hooked up to a Mac
mini. If you were hoping to use your mini without a monitor, your better off
getting a macbook air, or the macbook pro.

worth the price.
