PS/2 ports are actually kind of cool. I beleive you could also get a |
| 24 |
PS/2 splitter to use, say, a mouse and keyboard on just one port. USB |
| 25 |
kind of replaced it (windows refuses to hotswap mice, for example, and |
| 26 |
my techie windows-poweruser roommate insists that he's never been able |
| 27 |
to hotplug keyboards either, unless they were attached when the |
| 28 |
computer booted, although i'm almost positive he's wrong) and is |
| 29 |
supported a lot better, but - no surprise - linux is flexible. |
