Go wireless. Then all you have to worry about is a dead battery.
Yeah maybe I will, later.
I just got a new puter and it came with a ps2 mouse and ps2 keyboard. Plus prior to that I bought a new ps2 keyboard with neat hot keys for my old pc so all my 'wired stuff' is new.
(and when I replace something the wife wants to throw the 'old stuff' in the garbage, even if it still works. she never heard of 'back up')
