I randomly go to thrift stores. I've ran into 2 iMacs, both didn't
have the keyboards. I thought about getting one and seeing if I
could find a keyboard on eBay or someplace. I still might go get
it!
The one has been sitting for awhile...

You can use any USB keyboard and mouse with Mac OS X / Macos, regardless if it was made for a PC or a Mac. Some keys will need re-mapping in software (easy to
do in the system configuration) though.

I ended up thinking about that computer for a WEEK, debating if I should buy it
or not. after 2 weeks of pussy-footing around I went back to that store happy and confident it would still be there and I'd finally have one of my dream computers only to be disappointed!

I asked a store clerk about it, she said it was sold like 3 days before I got there, I wanted to kick myself in the balls. :(

My stratagy is to dump in in a cart and wander around thinking.

I have found many useful things at thrift stores.

Missed out on an Atari game emulator. Put it down turned the corner, went back and it was gone.

Cheers,
