Yep, they give you two ports, one for the keyboard( they don't give you ), and one for the USB port expander you will need to attach anything other then the mouse ( that they don't give you )

Mac keyboards also have a USB port, so the mouse is plugged into that - or whatever you want/need, so the keyboard/mouse only requires one USB port.

Or, you get the wireless mouse and keyboard from Apple, or Logitech, or whoever - most if not all of them work just fine.

... and just try to load the USB drivers from those mini-CD's via the slot drive ...

USB drivers? On Mini-cds? On a Mac? It's built into the OS - one thing Windows could really use - universal USB/Firewire drivers. I use wireless mice, a Wacom table, several USB cameras, a Optical monitor calibrator, an iPod, an ADS A/V Pyro dv capture box, an Epson 2200 printer, and several USB and Firewire external drives and DVD burners, and the only one that needed specific drivers was the Epson printer. On my Windows laptop, I've needed specific drivers for just about all of them. The only one I did'nt was a flash thumb drive.

Want the DVD burner ? - add another $100

They're free on Dell's?

I have a Macally 'iKey' keyboard. It's a full size keyboard with 2 USB ports, so you could attach a mouse and a game controller, etc.

And I have something called the 'Dr. Bot T3-Hub'. It's about the size of a key fob, and it's phantom-powered!
