I had a Mac Mini for years (still do, but the drive is shot). I hooked up a $12 USB keyboard from Wal-Mart, and a monitor we'd had for at least five years from Dell, and it worked just fine.

Of course, my $12 keyboard is still going strong, even if it isn't very comfortable. > On May 19, 2015, at 9:17 AM, Devin Prater <[email protected]> wrote: > > So Apple can look at non-Apple products, like cheap logitech keyboards and > Visio TVS? > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On May 19, 2015, at 5:42 AM, Jonathan C Cohn <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I personally have heard great things about the Logitech keyboards.
