Yesterday my Mac Mini arrived and it set up perfectly. Love it. Love it so much I want to take it with me to Halifax when I go next week. However, I'll be staying at my mother's house.... not exactly on the cutting edge of technology is she. She still has a CRT monitor for her computer and her TV is 20 years old. I'll pack a keyboard and mouse, but really don't want to pack a monitor into my suitcase. Is there any means of using my iPad as an output monitor from my Mini? Someone suggested AirDisplay, but in reading about it, it only seems to work as a secondary output screen, not as a primary screen.
Also, AirDisplay works over WiFi so it's not acceptable for watching videos of any type.

You can use AirDisplay as your primary monitor (as in your menu bar and dock appear on it) but I don't know if the Mini would boot without a monitor plugged in (I assume it would).
