Skype is very good and reasonable except that you have to be at your computer to receive a call(I think). It's difficult to figure out their system if your a Mac person, it's not very intuitive.

If you pay them for a phone number, you can have it forward to a mobile phone or to a landline if you want. For me, this is an *excellent* companion to a cell phone.

See if you can obtain one on the swap list, being sure to specify that you need it for a Gig-E. Other than that, get a Pro-style keyboard that has a soft power button, equally inexpensive. HTH, Dana The last apple keyboard to have the power button was the first USB keyboard that came with the iMac tray loaders, early slot loaders, and the PowerMac G3 BW. The Pro Keyboard DOES NOT have a power button Correctamundo, Kasey...my bad. However, several third party keyboards (MacAlly for ex.) continued the power button for a while longer; perhaps Norm can snag one of those. Dana Oh, it also might be worth noting that the Summer 2000 iMac DV i have will not start with the power button on the keyboard (if i plug the one in from the older tray loader.)
