Problems, problems

So the laptops were all set to roll out today. The guys using the current ones had PS/2 keyboard and/or mice attached to their old ones, and since these new ones don’t have a PS/2 port, I went out yesterday and picked up a couple of Belkin USB Dual PS/2 adapters. The package comes with just the adapter and a nice “No drivers needed” message. When I hook it up to the laptop, I get an unrecognized USB device error and when I look at it further, it asks me to install the driver for this new hardware. That’s what I like, nice and simple peripherals!

    Here’s a novel idea for your non-technical friends, and one I just came up with while having a discussion with a coworker: So you have a friend who has an old PC and wants rid of it. They don’t want to toss it in the trash, obviously, they want to drop it at a recycling…
