OK. Next question for setting up these two computers with one monitor. I was considering a kvm switch—this one, or something like it:
http://www.surpluscomputers.com/348254/house-brand-port-usb-kvm.html but then am I limited on what keyboard and mouse can be used? I have an apple keyboard and mouse for the G4, and the PC is HP brand, with HP keyboard and mouse. I don't want to be switching out the keyboards and mice all the time... but if I'm going to need to invest in some other keyboard and mouse AND the kvm switch, I might be better off just spending the $ on another monitor.... ? kathy k On Feb 3, 2009, at 9:13 AM, Kathy K wrote: > > Thank you, guys.
