Alright, i just obtained a blue-and-white g3 with adb and usb ports.  here is my question: is there ANY way i can use my ps/2 mouse (or keyboard) on it without having to buy an adapter?

nope, you would have to go buy an addapter for it. do your self a favor and go down compusa or someplace and buy a cheap usb keybaord and mouse. hell even that usb microsoftmouse will work well with your make. and for ps/2 perirals, unless you have a buckler-capcitive SP?, and i think thats what they are called, they click and clack REALLY loud when you type on them, there is no reason to use such compenites
