Personally, I like PS/2 keyboards and mice more than USB ones. That way, I have my USB ports freed up for other devices.

Same here. I bought my PC in 2005 and it has PS/2 ports. I wish they'd include them on Macs too.

Wow, topic of conversation certainly changed quickly.

I just realized that my mom's alarm clock sounds like the IntelliStar alert tones. When I heard it a second ago, I was thinking, "WTF? Why am I hearing IS alert tones?"

[Mike M]

My alarm clock's alarm here happens to have the same tone as the XL and IntelliStar too, except the duration of each tone is longer.

Did you hear the voice over saying "A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for your area"?

Why? It's incredibly obsolete.

I don't really consider PS/2 obsolete. While it is not as prevalent as it was a few years ago, there is absolutely nothing wrong with PS/2, and I don't really see an advantage or disadvantage to using it over USB.

I can agree with that. FWIW, I'm using a PS/2 keyboard. Personally, I'm fine with it. Like you said, I can;t really see any advantage or disadvantage of one or the other.

I have one two, but i like the way it is. Most CPUS have PS/2 port in it.

Gary, what does FWIW mean?

I'm just glad that Apple is still really far ahead of everyone else.

Is that an official acronym or what? I've never heard that before.

[Logica]

It is, i checked a acronym dictionary.
