As much as I think the key/mouse set are pretty, the $78 is a rip off. I think
I'll end up using the $18 Microsoft USB "desk set".

I don't think there's even a fan in there.

Well, you can defintely use a USB to parallel adapter cable. If you can find one for cheap or free--I got one when I bought an Epson inkjet for the lab. The Mac uses it transparently, so as long as there is a print driver for the printer, it should work. I was really quite surprised how well that worked out for my sister's iBook and her cheap-o Brother laser printer.
Otherwise, there's always used HP Laserjets with a JetDirect onboard.
