USB keyboard/mouse that Sun and Apple ship with their machines).

Agreed. I
*HATE* USB devices. Aside from being a royal
pain and unreliable, it's definitely not Universal,
and it's not really much of a Bus either.
Seconded. I have here several USB memory sticks which work on PCs
but not on a Mac, and as if that's not bad enough, several others of
the same make and same model number which work on both. Also a
couple of USB-to-serial-port adaptors which work on some laptops but
not others.
When did you last see wide-ranging USB support on a Unix box (Linux
doesn't count)?
