And wireless keyboards removed a lot of the arguments against PS/2. OTOH USB connectors are actually superior to PS/2 ones (as rack builders are slowly discovering) and it'll take only a few first-tier systems to force people to fix their hardware. Once it's done, PS/2 keyboards will go the way of the PS/2 mouse quickly. Who even thinks about buying a PS/2 mouse nowadays ? Cheers, -- Nicolas Mailhot
