In my opinion PowerPC should be sell with the option of no mouse/keyboard like the MiniMac because a lot of people already have a mouse and a keyboard and also a lot of people don't like mac mice and keyboards.
What do you think about this?

I think it would give the "why doesn't it come with <insert device name here>" people even more to complain about.
Personally, I don't mind having the back up keyboard and mouse. It's nice having the hockey puck mouse around when your third party one dies. It isn't feasible to run out to Best Buy for a new one when right in the middle of something at ten o'clock at night.
I had a Tru-form keyboard that never did function correctly, so when I finally trashed it, it was nice to have my original keyboard to fall back on. I haven't found a new USB keyboard that I liked enough to shell out $$$ for, so I'm sticking with the one that came with my G4. It may not be the best keyboard in the world, but it will suffice until I find/can afford the best keyboard in the world.

I don't think IBM wants to bundle keyboards or mice with their processors. They want to leave that to Apple when they ship their Powermacs. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
