Hank,
USB does not come standard on this machine so likely it was added by the person who sold it to you. Likewise, there is only one line of beige g3, and there is a lot of wonderful information under the systems menu if you can get there.

the smaller port is the monitor one, assuming your monitor plug is standard. There are other ports on the back, to which one would hold the apple keyboard if you had this, one holds the modem too, etc. Just an opinion but you may wish to speak to the person who sold this to you about an apple keyboard.

I am not sure if this was added or not it just has one.
how do I find out what model of beige I have?
also out of curiousity what happened when your friend plug the moniter in to the joy stick port? there are 2 ports on this machine one that looks like a printer port and a smaller one those are the only 2 ports on the back besides the usual sound usb firewire etc etc.
thanks

 You can try pressing the power key, wait two seconds, and then press
 enter.  Worse case scenario, just yank the power cord, but I would
 wait until the drive has settled down.

 I am still confused as to what model Mac you have.  I looked it up,
 and the Beige G3 didn't have USB.  Are you using an add-in USB card?
 I would expect that to be problematic.

 And I don't understand why you say the video port is smaller than VGA
 since that generation Mac has a video port that is larger, exactly the
 same size as a PC joystick port, which I never appreciated until a
 friend plugged a Mac monitor into his PC joystick port one day...
