He doesn't seem very apt to share anything with us for some reason. I have to press him about everything.

Gary, what does FWIW mean?

For What It's Worth.

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

You've never seen FWIW before?

Wonderful work! Did your IntelliStar really use to say "Hanover Area"?

I doubt he'd make it up.

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.

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.

Have there been any complaints at TWCC about this? They do the same thing there, don't they?

There are no complaints there, and yes, they do the very same thing.

Then what's with the complaints here?

It's not the computer at fault, it's your connection.

Well it's actually both. This computer has only a 1 GHz processor, which could be considered fast but certainly not compared to today's standards. There's also only 768 MB of RAM in this machine, and a rather low amount of harddrive space. My PC is 2.2 GHz, more memory and hard drive space, and I think I have a higher connection speed there.

Nope. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. Your computer specs DO NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE SPEED OF YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. The only piece of hardware inside your computer that effects your internet connection is your ethernet card, the card used to connect to the internet.

Yes I can do that, but I'd rather not.

The receiver part is plugged into the USB port. The mouse itself uses batteries.

How about wireless Mouse and Keyboard?

My results on Speedtest:



I'm not sure if it's impressive or not.

Those are also USB devices.
