    You'll need a mini-dvi to VGA adapter.

    Keybaord and mouse should be fine as long as they are USB.

    Thanks, And they are usb. So all good.

    Final question (unless this leads to other questions).

    Can macbooks change the resolution to suit the monitor, or are they set resolutions?

    Oh yes.. and the spectra photo place next to the Molly Malone statue in Dublin sometimes have those Mini DVI adapters in stock. Think they work out at over €30 when ordered through apple.

    well he asked if he could "plug in my mouse & keyboard" so the replies mentioned USB to distinguish from PS/2 type connectors... <i suppose>
