You must be a marketeer! The CPU only has three ports. The fact that the
keyboard has two is a feature of the keyboard, not the iMac. And, actually,
it isn't fair to count ports that you can't use simultaneously. The
connections on the keyboard are totally useless UNLESS the keyboard is
hooked up to the CPU. And a Mac is all but useless w/o a
mouse/trackball/etc. So, you're still left with three AVAILABLE USB ports.
