Is there such a thing? The tower is on the floor and when I have the keyboard in the drawer (for keyboards) the cable is pretty short. Is there something with a female end that will accept the end of the usb cable of the keyboard which will extend the effective length to reach the back of my computer? All i need is like 2 feet so things aren't so taught.

There used to be one given out free in the box with all Powermacs...

I know I have 2 laying about from my graphite and MDD machines.

Where are you based? I may be able to put one in the post to you...

Peace,

Marc

Most of those cheapo USB memory drives have an extender with them.

Hmm.. I never even remember seeing or noticing that with my MDD since I used to have the keyboard connected to the cinema display. I'll check the box again and maybe I'll have one. In that case... THANKS!! I'll post back w/finds.. if any..
