Computers Suck

I wish to lodge a complaint about my new USB keyboard and my old computer (which has never played nicely/consistently with USB devices) not playing together. Which department would that be?

It would be that department over there.

Oh great, thanks! Noo-nee-noo-nee-noo...

It would be the PC department. Please, do not talk to the Mac department. They're too busy using their computers to assist. :P

They're so busy because they have to work overtime to *pay* for their computers. :)

I have a fancy USB keyboard/mouse and the BIOS on my motherboard is so cheap that I can't use it 'til the OS boots. I just use those little USB/PS2 dongles and it solves all my problems... except for the niggling little irritation of having to use the dongles, of course.

*Exactly*! A dongle is admitting failure!!

(mine won't even be picked up in Windows -- it's seen, but not correctly identified. Freakin' useless old USB devices. I shouldn't have been so cheap.)
