339001 2005-03-29 04:01:00 I have decided to buy an iMac G5, and would like a wireless keyboard and mouse, would this be a good idea reliability wise?

Also, do you know if the iMacs ship with wired keyboard and mouse when you ask for a bluetooth adapter and wireless keyboard and mouse?

I welcome any comments,
Squibler ;)

339003 2005-03-29 04:28:00 I don't own one of Apple's wireless keyboards, but I use the wireless mouse with my PowerBook and it works great. If you order a Mac with built-in Bluetooth it will still come with the standard USB keyboard and mouse. You will need to buy the Bluetooth models separately. :) maccrazy (6741)

Communicate with the mac dealer directly to get the facts on what does and does not come with your purchase. A wireless keyboard and mouse (of good make) is as reliable as any wired setup until the batteries give up but being a wise man you would of course invest in a set of nimh batteries and charger.
I did have one more comment to make about macs (actually a rather long one) but I have made a promise to myself to stop making fun of them so :xmouth:

339005 2005-03-29 04:54:00 They are reliable products if you want that option

The computer would normally come with a wired keyboard, all you are doing is requesting some extras. You may of course be able to come to some arrangement with the dealer if you don't want the wired keyboard, you would need to ask.

Congratulations on your decision, superb machine and ignore any comments from fanatical windows users as they just secretly wish they had the money to buy a superior reliable system like the G5

339006 2005-03-29 04:58:00 Squibler - I have merged your duplicate thread from the Chat forum into this one. There is no need to post the same thread in both forums. Jen (38)
339007 2005-03-29 04:58:00 Lmao.

If I was filthy rich I would have a G5 (as a secondary,or thirdary machine), But hopefully I wouldn't lose grasp on reality the minute it was purchased.

339008 2005-03-29 05:59:00 wired keyboard and mouse are standard!!Get your bluetooth built to order so you aren't wasting a usb port on a dongle.The bt keyboards seem to be pretty reliable, but you would always keep a wired for backup plod (107)
339009 2005-03-29 06:42:00 Macs hmmm :xmouth:
If I won lotto I would buy a g5, gut it and use the admittedly impressive case for an uber ashtray. :D

339010 2005-03-29 07:17:00 why is it when a mac is mentioned, that we start to get people bashing them straight away even if it is in jest....It seems we have a lot of jealous people on this forum???Comments like macs are for beginners, go tell that to the movie industry that are starting to use them in a big way, by no means beginners plod (107)
