I hope the webcam controls are accessible. I might use it if I need to ask a sighted friend what colour something is or if I just want them to see me.

The iMac that I has has a built-in mike, as well as a built-in webcam, (since I'm totally blind, I don't use the webcam) and the quality is fairly good, I's say. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

There is no reason to get more computer than you need, and for most people the Mini will be all you need. The graphics card is the mini's low point, but VO users won't care about that aspect. The pro line does not come with the extra ilife software of the home user machines, such as the imac, mini and macbook.
