[G4] G4 Newbie?

[Aaron Willems]

I also have a Dual MDD. When I bought it, it came with a DVI to VGA
monitor adapter. It also came with a USB extension cable.

I assume you have a standard monitor with a VGA connection. The Apple
store carries the adapter, just do a search. It costs $19 dollars before
tax and shipping. The Apple stores also carries a Belkin USB Extention
cable. They come in 6 or 10 feet(also $19 dollars). This will take care of
your keyboard.

Another solution in the interest of saving money, is to contact the seller
and ask him what he/she did with keyboard and Monitor adapter. If they
still have it, ask them to mail it to you.

Regards,
