[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 43327, member: 5184"] The actual Apple Pro keyboard also has 2 USB ports. As Graeme43 said, You have 2 on the Mac and 2 on the keyboard, but as you need one on the Mac to plug in the keyboard, and one on the keyboard to plug in your mouse, this leaves you with 2 free USB ports. :-) Nevertheless, some USB devices that use the power over USB will not work on the keyboard USB port. I would suggest a USB-hub with an externall power supply, connected to the free port on the Mac. I agree with Graeme43 about shadowkiller... Mac OS Xs graphics are great on a fast machine, but they can (and will) slow down your interface on an older Mac, like yours. [/QUOTE]
