I remember coming across this in the forums here somewhere... but it's rather hard to point out where it is. >.;)

That's all I can say now... but at least you know they exist. :lol:

Yea, Apple hardware is real cool... :who's your daddy:

I have a question; How many new topics can be posted by a member in a one hour time span?

Anyway, the Apple keyboard and mouse will work with Windows. You just need software to to emulate right-click with a key stroke and click. Apple displays will only work with a converter (I don't know if it is software or hardware). And every printer/scanner/apple peeler will work with Windows.

The Apple displays require a hardware converter (VGA to DVI, I think.)

And what's the deal with the Apple Peeler?

I know that the mac mouse and keyboard work on pc, as long as you connect them in usb mode. Both work as plug n play, but you need a driver in order to use the eject key on the mac keyboard. Links somewhere around here. But i remember that the driver was going to cost money after feburary so find the download quickly. About the mouse. I don't think that anyone would want a 1 button mouse that costs 60 dollars. Even mac users complain.

i use a 20 inch cinema display and u need apple's adc to dvi adapter to utilize it. it is said to work ok with nvidia based cards but with my all in wonder 8500dv the boot screen and bios r not visable. i do not see an image till windows xp loads to the logon screen. i do not mind, i use tv out if i need to get into bios. it is a lil bit of a pain so next time i will go with nvidia card and seperate tv tuner card. i use apple pro keyboard and no problems there, the driver is applek pro, i have it and can send it to anyone who asks. i use a usb kensigton mouse that is very mac-ish it has two buttons and touch sensitive pad for scroll wheel. most mac hardware will work with a pc, apple does not support this but i would assume a good deal of sales comes from the pc side of the world. i used to have a g4 cube as well but sold it for a down payment on my house. someday i will buy a 12 inch powerbook and share all my hardware between my pc and mac. i love this site! thanks.

one more thing, i re-read my post and it might confuse some...

the no bios, no boot screen is a hardware limitation of the ati card NOT the cinema display. this is a problem on some lcd displays form other manufactures as well.

really, driver for the eject key huh, i was wondering why that didn't work, u wouldn't know what the driver was called so i could do a search on it.

ADC (Apple Display Connector) to VGA, but if you have something like an FX5200 youll be able to connect any DVI screen there as well ;)
