The PS/2 plug is the work of El Diablo. It is a round plug â
like a RCA, RF or 3.5mm mini-pin. However, unlike those plugs,
there is only one way to plug in a PS/2 plug, which is not easy
to do as the socket is
* At the rear of the computer,
* In the dark (under a desk),
* On the floor, and
* Next to an identical socket that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES
should you plug it in to.
For convenience, the two PS/2 sockets are colour coded so you
can tell them apart if the machine was not in the dark under a
cramped desk! Then, just for giggles, if you plug-in or unplug
your keyboard while the machine is going, then you run the risk
for frying the computer!

USB keyboards are a lot better than PS/2 keyboards. They are easier to
plug in, you can use any of the USB sockets on your machine, and you can
plug it in or unplug it while the machine is going without damaging
anything!
