I wonder how much bandwidth NBC used. Its gated wall for requiring satellite and cable TV services probably kept it down. :(

Re:I bought one

Interesting. I was using a clicky generic Dell PS/2 PC104 keyboard.

Re:I bought one

Oops, I forgot to mention that this with PS/2 mice and not keyboards. PS/2 keyboards are OK.

Re:I bought one

On: Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard Switches Compared

Here's the weird thing. I used the same adapters at work, and had no problems. I think it is my motherboard.

Re:I bought one

On: Cherry MX Mechanical Keyboard Switches Compared

Which real PS2 to USB adapters? I tried various and my motherboard keeps losing connections or lag in both Windows XP Pro. SP3 and KNOPPIX live disc. :(

Ah, I don't have a fancy sound system. Just a basic 2.1 analog speaker setup (Logitech Z-2300).

Wait, I have to use HDMI to my speakers? My speakers use the old fashion regular audio cables. :(

Re:That's fine because I plan to bypass...

On: You Can't Bypass the UI Formerly Known As Metro On Windows 8

Ditto. Both Unity (using old Debian stable's Gnome v2.3) and Metro (sticking with Windows XP and 7) drove me insane on desktops. I am sure I will be OK if I had a tablet devices, but they are NOT for desktops. I don't even care for tablets!
