I do have a USB printer and a USB camera. I also have some of those |
| 67 |
memory sticks that I use as well.. I have never had anything to lock up |
| 68 |
because of those tho. My keyboard and mouse is PS/2 so I don't guess I |
| 69 |
can exactly uplug them anyway. I did that once by accident and the port |
| 70 |
never worked again. |

Maybe I found one thing I am lucky in. ;-) |
