can't as say that I could agree with this. electonically speaking, there's
no current being transmitted, and thus no power. the only way it could
burn out, is if there was no overvoltage limits in place, and with keyboards
running on 5V, I can't see it killing the ports. Don't forget it's a PS/2
port and identical to any current generation PC. I haven't heard of any
reports of anyone's PS/2 keyboard (or mouse) port dying due to lack of use
;)
