The downside of these goofy new connections is that you can't use a keyboard you really want, or a "mouse" you really want. I have a number of IBM keyboards that I picked up years ago at flea markets, and they're loud, but indestructable, and have a really good "touch." I also use Kensington optical trackballs. I hate computer mice, and have no room for them on my working surfaces, anyway. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
