My mom bought this mac G4 from a guy and he didn't include a keyboard, so i've been using one of the keyboards we use for our PCs. On a PC simply holding down ctrl + C will copy and holding ctrl + V will paste. I can't do that with a mac. Is there anyway to copy and paste on this mac? I don't know if it's important or not but this mac is considered "vintage" as the guy at the mac store called it, meaning they cant get parts for it and we have to get a Tiger disk to upgrade it any. Anyway, can anyone possibly help if there is a way to do it???
Got a tip for us?

Has the PC keyboard a Windows key (the one with the Windows Logo, between Alt and CTRL)?
If so, try that + C/V.
I don't know if you have experience with Mac OS X, but a lot of Ctrl + something commands are the same in Mac OS X, just that the CTRL is replaced with the CMD/Apple key.
