some guys helped giving info, some told You to go to a mac NG or to
come back with an Apple II - 
here's my comment: Do what You've been told by the helpful ppl:
plug the keyboard into the mac, the mouse into the socket on the
keyboard and get Your Mac going. Here the different advice starts:
get some Apple II emulators and as a A2-newbie go to this NG and to
comp.emulators.apple2 for an overwhelming experience in computer
history

Have Fun,
