Saint Alden is doing great Marie. We have been working well together over the
years. He thenks that he is the only saint in the church house. How is the
music world going with you? Have you made CD Baby your music distributer? A
friend of mine did that and now her music is being sold worldwide. They
distributed her music to major stores, Itunes, Amazon and several other sales
outlets. Since you are enjoying the Iphone, the MAC computer will also be a
great joy to you. Take care and enjoy the rest of the summer season.

Hi Percy
Nice hearing from you! As you probably realize I am now using an iPhone.
I've had it for a year. How are you and your quadraped doing?

Yes Marie. I use a Mac mini augmented with Dell periphials. Although my Mac
mini doesn't require a monitor, I use aDell monitor and keyboard. I use an
external CD drive and an Epson printer.

I have been using Dell computers for years and have my keyboard and
monitor. Does anyone know if you can use them with the Mac mini? I am thinking
about abandoning Windows for some type of mac.

Honestly, your friend is better off buying a MacBook Air. The only
thing that is in the box when you buy the Mac Mini is the Mac Mini with chord.
There is no keyboard, no decent speaker, no monitor, and, if your friend is
used to an iPhone, they will need a trackpad as well. VO on the Mac can be
confusing, even if you know VO from the iPhone or other devices. If your friend
wants to learn a Mac, then they are better off with an Air. Everything is
included. But, honestly, your friend should just stick with Windows if they
aren’t comfortable with big change. Windows 8/10 is a smaller change than
moving to a mac would be.
HTH,

Hi everyone,
I have a friend who is considering purchasing a Mac mini. The basic
reason for wanting the Mac Mini is cost. He also does not want to take the time
to learn windows eight or windows 10. He's been stuck on Windows XP since long
before support stopped last year. His only dealings with voiceover is with iOS
devices along with his AppleTV. He is not one who does well with major change
in electronics in his life. I don't want to turn this into an Apple versus
Windows discussion other than to say I suggested he look for a Windows 7
machine because it was something that he is familiar with. My question for the
group is this; other than the base cost, as I understand it of $699 for the Mac
Mini, what are the auxiliary purchases needed in order to make it functional?
If I'm correct, that does not include a screen, does it include a keyboard or
speakers?
I also know firsthand what it's like attempting to learn a new
operating system and screen reader on your own. I had the patients. He does
not. Thank God for this group. I would've been lost. I'm attempting to get him
to join it before he makes his purchase. Any suggestions or help you could
offer would be greatly appreciated.
Many many thanks,
Pam Francis
