Hi Dan, I got a usb full key board. Right now, I can't go on line with the mac unless I unhook the ethernet cable from the 98 machine, but wanted a situation where I could go on line with both computers, but the man at the store said that since I didn't have wireless, that I'd have to unhook the 98 machine, and hook the ethernet cable in to the mac, but I want to slowly transition in to the mac.

Hi Marty, Hey, welcome aboard with the Mac mini. Let us know how things go after you get it. Just curious, did you purchase a wireless keyboard or did you get the Apple USB keyboard.
