Sorry if this question has been asked.

Will Snow Leopard, Bootcamp, and Windows 7 work together?

  The newer Mac Minis should be plenty for what you want to do.  You can 
install Windows, provided your Mac Mini is a Dual Core Intel machine.  You can 
get a "dressed-out" model of the Mac Mini for around $799 or so, but if you 
want portability that you can take everywhere with you, the Mac Book line will 
suffice as well.  Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

is turning out to be an excelent machine and the only time I use windows 
anymore is on other computers.  You just need to determin what your needs are 
but I would suggest the MacBook Pro with at least 4GB Memory and a 250GB of HD 
space.


  Good luck!

    Hi,

    I am going back to college/university in the fall of 2010.
    Will a mac mini do everything I need for school with voiceover?
    I will need to b able to:
    *possibly install windows 7
    *scan and read books using OCR
    *read daisy books possibly
    and everything else college students use like skype andd things. I will try 
and save, possibly will buy a Linux MacBook for notetaking and throw 
knoppix-adriane on it or maybe vinux-cli-max or ubuntu on the netbook.

    my blog is at http://jkenn337.klangoblog.net (updated frequently). Tired of 
Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA for 
Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux 
desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for 
beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at www.cherrypal.com to use 
windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people 
can have an accessible computer.
