I use an Adesso EKB-906T ergo keyboard (ADB). My mouse is a Logitech MX500 (USB). The Adesso you can get for as low as $25 (they're being blown out, see http:/www.pricegrabber.com. I got mine recently for $20 from CompUSA), so there's no reason to get a USB keyboard..more expensive. You also lose the power key via ADB bus. I can power my 8500/120 (G4/400 upgrade) with one flick of a switch (power-key on the ADB keyboard): I use a Sears power-sensing strip, which will auto-detect the 8500 coming on -- turning on 2 other outlet switches. My monitor & other devices are connected to them. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
