"The assumption is that you have one laying around from the PC you are upgrading from"

The problem is, that wont help PC users. Monitors and keyboards aren't interchangeable with Mac.

A buddy of mine married a school teacher (2nd marriage) and her Mac came with the marriage. I do a little work with other friends PC's and he's always needing help with this Mac. I've been able to help him with a few things but not much. I told him to find a buddy who's good with Mac's or dump it and buy a PC.

Needless to say I'm on his lib wife's crap list. Because hey, If I'm going over there to figure something out on their Mac that she can't figure out, then I'm going to put my 2 cents in about whiny liberals.

She loves me. I can tell by the way the smoke comes out of her ears every time I visit. :)

Once again, yes they are, although if you have a PS/2 keyboard you'll need a USB adaptor. Any VGA or DVI monitor will work.

Libs, Plug a USB keyboard and ANY monitor into a Mac and it will work... same with USB mouses... don't even need drivers.
