Hey Russell!

That depends on how motivated I get about it.  So far there hasn't been a
reason since there is nothing happening development-wise in Fido and hasn't
been for ages now.  I already know how to set something like this up and it
seems rather silly to do it just for myself since I already have access to
everything here without tunneling and the such.  However, I'd be more
interested if it actually meant something.

Okay.  Myself I have keyboards (ps/2 ones too) that don't have the Windows keys
on them.  They work great, even the AT ones.  I haven't seen many keyboards
these days worth anything just for extra keys that I'd have to remap to mean
anything and then have them gum up the works.  Too many el cheapo keyboards
being put out these days.

Understood.  My current default one is from an unused 486 I found in a dealer's
basement.  Works great!

I hear ya!  Mice are another can of worms that can screw things up even worse
then keyboards.  I try and avoid needing a mouse so if it goes south on me I
have other methods available to me.  Too much cheap crap being put out these
days ... especially the expensive crap!  ;-)

Life is good,
Maurice
