Rick and others,
You really should have a monitor on the mini. Yes some get by with out it and
thats great, but, most don't. When some one sends something to the list saying
that Voiceover is sluggish, you can bet your sox that it is almost always a
mmini with out a monitor. I don't think I would ever tell a new user to use a
mini with out a monitor, because chances are although some of you are getting
by fine, that they will not.
