well, I don't see the need for two laptops. if apple comes out with a netbook 
great! then I'll buy one, but I think a mac mini would be fine for me.

  Yes windows xp can be run on a Mac using either BootCamp or a program called 
  VMWare Fusion.
  That is off-topic here though unless it has to do with VoiceOver reading the 
  configuration stuff. VoiceOver will not talk in the Windows stuff.
  I did not realize the Mac mini would run without a monitor.
  If you don't need to use it on batteries then the mini sounds like the Mac 
  for you.
  Your question about whether things are more accessible would get way too 
  political and personal preference oriented for this list, but I have no 
  trouble starting up my Mac, performing updates, or using most built-in 
  programs.
  I can even reformat my hard drive if I am so inclined, and I've heard that 
  installing, yes I said installing, the Mac OS from scratch! is accessible. 
  It's not like Windows where you need sighted help for the installation of 
  Windows.
  As for individual programs, many work well, lots work ok, and some don't 
  work; just the same as Windows programs. Contacting developers to ask them 
  to improve the accessibility of their software also happens.
  Hope that helps.
