With one notable difference, I don't notice much of a difference between the PowerBook keyboards and desktop keyboards. That single difference is the Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard which I now use at home and work. But yes, you can indeed use wired or wireless keyboards/mouses with a PowerBook. Since the newer PowerBooks have bluetooth built in there are no cards or drivers -- unless your third party mouse/keyboard require drivers for extra functionality. For example, my four button mouse uses driver software to control the extra buttons. david -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
