Hard Wired Keyboards and Mice are also passe.
Wireless is the only way to go, but that means you need more than just a
couple of USB ports on these radios.

excellent, small keyboards of both persuasions.
One might as well argue that the P3 SVGA add-in should support HDMI
instead of the relatively ancient SVGA.

when they
come with outdated obsolete electronic connections, its simply a case of
Lazy or Cheap. I was told by a very well known manufacturer, that if
they
had to put a USB port for the keyboard in, it would add too much to the
price (*while this item already had a USB port for uploading new
firmware).
Yes, a USB port costs roughly $1.00 so in a $300.0+ dollar gadget you're
telling me that an extra buck is going to be a deal breaker? Come on!
Sorry,
if it has a PS2 keyboard connection, I'm not buying it and neither
should
anyone else.
