Ok, great. By the way, what is this macbundlebox thing? I saw about it on youtube, is it legal or scam or what? (http://www.macbundlebox.com)

Thanks.

I see. Well, I need more information. How do you get them? Do they ship it to you or download or what? Also, what these sites are run by? Apple? No? It seems that all you have to do is give away your email address...

MacHeist from my understanding is where developers agree to put their software in the pot, and sell it for less than usual, however by doing this a ton of people learn about it and spread the news to their friends. I am pretty sure you download a bundle with all the files in it.

MacHeist does limited offers, and then they don't have a bundle for a while, so far there have been two bundles.

Hm. Sounds like they would be modified ones.

Ok, let me ask another last question, how come I see the keyboards/mouses or combo which are wireless everywhere in stores? But not USB? Or does that mean it's optional to be wireless? Can you make it nonwireless? Thanks.

Apple wireless keyboard and mouse is bluetooth wireless.

Some wireless keyboards are bluetooth (not a ton) and others use little usb receivers, but they just neglect to state that. If it is a non bluetooth wireless keyset (usually called RF or sometimes IR (RF is generally better) it likely uses a USB port receiver, so if they say USB that is why, other times they neglect to say it because it is assumed to be USB.
