Hi all, this is especially for any mac mini users on the list, and the question I want to ask is, do you think that snow leopard has fixed the trick where you can hook up a dvi to composit video adapter to your mini, and fool it in to thinking you have a monitor? I ask because I'm having a hard time with some dialogs in skype, and most recently, the empty cash dialog in safari, and I suspect that the mac is looking for a monitor that it can't find, even with the dvi to composit video adapter hooked up to my mac mini. If this is true, this is a great disappointment for me, and I even tried asking this question on one of the mac podcasts, and the lady in question didn't get it, but I figured they would since they were talking about lots of things I didn't understand, and if this is true with snow leopard, couldn't voice over have a script, or something written in to it, to tell the operating system not to look for a monitor as long as voice over is running? I hope this is not the case, but when safari keeps saying busy, busy, and I can't navigate in the skype transfers window, if there are multiple transfers that haven't been accepted, then I fear that this has happened, and I have written accessibility at apple regarding this, but I can't even explore the empty cash dialog in safari without voice over disappearing, and I fear that it is because the mac is looking for a monitor that it can't find. Thanks in advance.

Marty
