And why would you need a usb hub and external drive?
4-usb2
ports

the current should handle most anyones needs,

Well, lets see.... USB printer, USB camera, USB flash
drive,
USB
keyboard, USB mouse, USB scanner...oops, that's six...
which
two
is
it
that "most any one" leaves off, Lloyd? The mouse and the
keyboard,
perhaps?

Except the USB keyboard has two USB ports on it that you
can
use to
plug
in the mouse and the camera, leaving three free ports on
the
Mini
for
the printer, scanner and flash drive.

Hmm... just how did you determine that "the USB keyboard,"
that
a
switcher is supposed to be using from his old PC, has two USB
ports
in
it? The solution is to buy a keyboard from Apple along with
your
Mac
Mini? I'll bet a third party keyboard with no extra USB
ports,
along
with a Hub, will cost less than that...


Why don't you support that contention...

You mean in the way I always have supported my contentions, but
you
have always failed to?

...wait, this is Edwin I'm talking to.

You never get tired of being an arsehole, do you, Alan?

The option to purchase a wired keyboard *and* mouse with a Mac
Mini
is
$78. That's a keyboard, mouse, plus two port USB hub (which
actually
equals a three port, once you consider that if you were to buy
an
actual
hub with a USB keyboard without USB ports you'd need a three
port
hub
to
match the functionality) for $78.

Go ahead, Edwin: show us all...

Done. For the umpteenth time...

Alan Baker is wrong...

... Again!

Now why don't you address the issue you side-stepped, the
switcher
who
wants to use his existing mouse and keyboard with a Mac Mini?

Apparently, according to you, he buys a $3 USB hub. Hardly a great
trial
for him, is it?

It was too much of a trial for you. Your solution was to buy a
keyboard and mouse from Apple for $78.

Nope. Not if I already *owned* a keyboard and mouse that worked
already.

So you've come full circle. What if the switcher's keyboard and mouse
doesn't have extra USB ports? Your solution was to pay Apple $78.
You denied any cheaper solution existed.

No. I denied that buying Apple's keyboard and mouse was *expensive*
compared to buying a decent keyboard, mouse and USB hub.

Yes you did, liar. I said a third party keyboard, mouse, and hub
would be cheaper than getting an Apple keyboard and mouse to add USB
ports, and you demanded documentation, IOW, you denied it was possible.

Really? I don't seem to see that text. Perhaps you'd care to point it
out...

This "decent" thing is your latest dodge to try to save face.
You'll just denied what I documented is "decent."

Jeeze, how do you stand being around yourself?

LOL
