yeah, i try to watch the run ons, but it is how my mind works. though i fully understand it makes things less clear. i often check my emails and try to break those up.
as for adb, i've done it on a 7100 and earlier macs with no problems other than the mouse slow down on some, and there is a control panel or extension (haven't used it in awhile) to reset the adb bus out there. guess i may have been luckier than some. i have a lot of old macs and i've never seen a blown adb port, though part of that may well be that i tend to unplug and replug things quickly, most systems are far more sensitive if you move the connectors slowly though that may not be why i've been lucky. electronics have fixed themselves before once i was called to fix them..... it's always amusing though sometimes irritating. just another reason to design my own electronic kvm soon that does things properly and not use the mechanical ones for too long, repairing things does become a bother rapidly even with skill and good tools (i've done a lot of electronics, and have a lot of metcal equipment, some of the finest soldering/desoldering gear around and terribly expensive anywhere but ebay where i buy mine, but having tried it where i worked i was ruined and had to have some).
