Problems, problems

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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!

    Scoble’s collecting SP2 reactions in the comments to this post. The IE Team has a post about changes to IE with SP2. Meanwhile IBM is telling it’s folks to not install it just yet. Seems there are some serious compatibility issues with their Web apps. That’s not surprising, I’ve been hearing about potential compatibility issues…
