I was beginning to consider that option :-O

I have the original imac keyboard & mouse to hand.  Couple of things: 1/
would _any_ USB 104-key keyboard and USB 2-button mouse work to try as
an alternative?; and, 2/ could I be mucking up the keyboard function by
plugging a 2-button USB mouse into it in place of the sill one-button
thingy? 

The keyboard seems active in other respects.  I can turn the imac on/off
with the keyboard and the status LED comes on under the 'capslock' key.

This is beginning to p!$$ me off.  Thanks for all your help, guys.

Gavin.
