Does it have usb ports on it? I figure it will not, but I want to check for sure. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the keyboard does not have usb ports, as Bluetooth does not support them. There isn't enough power, and they would be WAAYY to slow.

One more question here. If I buy a powerbook and I hook it to my cinema display. The usb's on my cinema display will work just like if the display was connected to a powermac right? (I am trying to decide if I need the bluetooth keyboard and mouse to save usb ports.) However, I would rather not have a one button mouse.
