A tv will not sub for a monitor.

going to cost much and I'm curious if the monitor issue can be
resolved with a television? I'd love an Imac, just the cost factor
that's making me edge toward a mini right now.

you are visually impaired.
as far as the mac mini goes, what does mac visionaries have to say
about it? Also, Why not get an imac? they are pretty and much more
user serviceable if you are inclined to do that sort of thing.
also, you will definitely want speakers for your mini and then there
is the keyboard issue. What keyboard will you use? you will also
want a mouse and even though you don't absolutely have to have a
monitor in most instances, I have heard that tthere are some apps
that won't run without it.

Subject: mac mini without monitor and set up
Hey,
I already have a macbook and I'm thinking of getting a mac mini. I
know if you don't have the monitor you need the adapter to make the
mini think there is one to prevent sluggish behaviour. My question
is, how would you set up the mac independently without sighted
assistance? I had to have someone hit the start voice over
assistive set up thing on my mac book when I got it. but if you
don't have a monitor, can this be achieved some way? I've never
reinstalled my leopard yet, although I understand it can be done.
simply, can I set up my mac mini without sighted assistance?
thanks Marie
