I agree with most of what you said.  The one point that I differ on is the
Mac Mini you do need to have a monitor on it or it is extremely slow on the
internet.  We have two Mac minis and they are okay.  They were our first mac
products.  In my case my only product.  My wife has a Macbook Air and she
uses it everywhere.

While I am at it.  I need to correct myself on something I did earlier.  I
Misspelled Keith Reedy's name.  Sorry oabout that Keith.

Hi Bob and all, that is the I-Mac and it looks like a big flat screen
monitor.  The Mac Mini is the best deal, because it is very small, and if
you are totally blind, you don't even need to plug in a monitor.  Mike
Origo, n0oxy has several podcasts on Blind Cool Tech about the Mac and it's
OS.  They aren't really tutorials, but he is so thorough, that you can get
up and running with a Mac, just by following his podcasts!

Hope this helps and 73:
John
