I've got the table and chairs (which we never really sat in last
year, but. . .) I also plan on bringing several machines as well.
If I get the PowerMac built out before then I'll bring that, but
somebody would need to burn a ppc distro for me. *hint*, *hint*
I _may_ be able to scrounge up a keyboard and mouse, but I need
to track down a SVGA monitor <--> PowerMac adapter. Once I verify
the machine does indeed work, I'll probably purchase my own from
Microcenter. Will a keyboard and mouse from an original Mac work
on this machine?
