The Mac Mini was designed so that you can bring your own keyboard
and mouse to it to work with so it doesn't have to be an Apple
keyboard, however the modifier keys will not match up with what you
will have on your PC keyboard. It will however work.
Safari can read very well with VoiceOver, however it is a completely
different navigation system. It will take some time to get used to
because it is so different but it has many similar facilities to JAWS.

Think I'm beginning to want one quite badly too, Jackie.
Does the keyboard have to be Mac, or does any chosen USB keyboard do the
job, or is there a dedicated keyboard socket?
How have you found the reading of web pages using Saphari and what's it like
(I mean how slick, say, in comparison with Jaws) when reading emails?

Hi Rex
We have our wireless key in the Mac Mini which is
downstairs, and the modem is upstairs. So we get a
really good signal and it works pretty fast on Safari. I
love the keyboard Martin chose as it isn't only
full-size, but has a USB port on it to use for a pen or
something. The Mini itself is just a small square box,
and he has attached a pair of small Bose speakers to it.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

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
