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!

    Yeah so yesterday at ITEC was basically a waste. To say I was underwhelmed by the show would be understating the fact. We’ll see how today goes, but I’m not going to kill myself to get back for any of day 2 today. (Hey, it still beats sitting in my office..*L*) I’ve got a bunch…

    Not sure if it’s related to the blaster worm or not, but email to this domain is not being delivered right now, and hasn’t been since at least sometime this afternoon. I don’t know if it’ll bounce eventually or get to me eventually, but if you’re awaiting a response from me, don’t hold your breath….

    Angela’s got proof that I do wear a suit and tie every now and then. (Although her description of “dapper” might be a tad biased.) She’s actually got a couple of pics that we took before we headed out to my office’s social event last night, a fun evening of drinking, dinner and dancing. Unfortunately,…
