Hi John
My partner, Martin, has a Mac Mini. It is quite small, and the keyboard
he
uses is full size. He chose the spec, which is a 500GB hard drive, 4GB of
RAM, dual core processor and CD/DVD drive. Of course he has the Alex
voice
running on VoiceOver. He has bought a full copy of Windows 7 to
eventually
put on there using Fusion or something so he can swap, but just hasn't got
round to setting it up. I'm beginning to learn a few keystrokes, and
attach
both my Nano and iPod Touch to it for transferring music to and from
iTunes.
I'd like a Mac of my own so I can play about with it and set it up with my
own preferences, but I wouldn't know what to choose to be honest. The Mac
Mini doesn't have a monitor as this is no good to me, and Martin doesn't
have enough sight to see the screen any more. So he has bought an adaptor
to fool the Mini into believing a monitor is attached, and it works
brilliantly.
But as for what Mac to go for, I can't help. I need to do a bit of
homework
myself if I were deadly serious about buying my own machine. For now, I
just borrow Martin's to play about with.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi guys
What's the general verdict on the Mac Mini?
I've been thinking about buying a Mac with a view to running both mac OS
and
MS Windows on the same machine. Moreover, as a programmer, I understand
programming GUI applications on the Mac is a less cumbersome experience,
compared to MS Windows.
Many thanks in advance for your input.
Regards
John
