Agreed. Also, you might wish to share a video or image /web site with a sighted friend. I'd encourage you to have sighted friends, they are delicious.

Even if you think the monitor is optional because you will not be using it, there could be times when you might require sighted assistance and then the monitor becomes essential. Of course this has more to do with buying a mac mini or imac because on the mack books there is already a monitor. john farina farina1952@xxxxxxxxx LEGAL NOTICE This e-mail transmission, with accompanying records, is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information belonging to the sender, including individually identifiable health information subject to the privacy and security provisions of HIPAA.
