An AT keyboard and a PS/2 keyboard are essentially the same, but I've heard of broken PS/2 mouse ports after hot plugging.

Yup, that's the screw guy all right, but the Dutch company Philips (also known as magnavox, grundig, etc) is spelt with only one l. :-) -- CBM, PEZ, and TI-calc nut, Scout, Glider pilot, Helpdesk-person Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope "I see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

Just interesting that I was sent this today. http://www.uselessknowledge.com/ll/phillips.shtml Henry Phillips was a Portland, Oregon, businessman with a penchant for gadgets. Realizing that carmakers needed a screw that could be driven with more torque and that would hold tighter than slotted screws, he developed a recessed cross screw that could be used easily with an automated screwdriver. The screw establishment was unimpressed. "The manufacture and marketing of these articles don't promise sufficient commercial success to warrant interesting ourselves further," wrote a representative of the American Screw Company. Phillips was undaunted, and when World Ware II broke out, industrialists needed to turn out large quantities of jeeps and other machines very quickly. The philips screw, and of course the phillips screwdriver, caught on. Interestingly, the Phillips Screw Company never manufactured a single screw or screwdriver. It simply licensed the rights to manufacture the products. By 1919, the Phillips screwdriver had become so ubiquitous that Phillips was stripped of the patent. He died in 1988 at age 68. -- **************************** __.-~---_ mikechat __)/ > O ( @ ) / /|\ )" bluedwarf.net ) | ^ ^ ^| )_\ ^ ^ ( )\ ^ ^ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~MJP~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
