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!

    This guy really doesn’t like some IT people. I’d have to agree with him in some sense, I’ve run into far too many people who are convinced that technology “X” is THE thing our office needs who’ve never even set foot in our office or bothered to figure out what we do, let alone where…
