You do not need a monitor. ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig To: mac4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 19, 2013 11:17 PM Subject: [mac4theblind] New member thinking of getting a Mac mini with Lion Server 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 - Hello everyone, I am new to the list. I am a windows and Jaws user. I am considering getting a Mac computer to learn the Apple OS and possibly making the switch. I have iOS devices. I am looking at the Mac mini with Lion Server 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7. I was considering getting that computer and using my TV as a monitor. But, do I have to use that computer with a monitor? Would Voiceover still work even if I do not have a monitor connected? What about the differences between Lion Server and regular Mountain Lion as it relates to voiceover stability? Is one preferred over the other? I am only considering Lion Server because I could get a good deal with the Mac mini running that OS. For faster and optimum performance, is there a big difference between 4 or 8 gigs of ram? Well I hope I did not bombard the list with too many elementary questions. Regards.
