Thank you
The ability to add a keyboard and mouse on a machine, where adding a
keyboard and mouse is truly OPTIONAL, is the first rational argument that
I've heard for USB connection of keyboard and mouse being better than
separate unique keyboard and mouse connectors.
One other thing that USB has been good for is to standardize hardware
interdacing across platforms. Otherwise, how do you add an EPROM
programmer to a Mac? IFF you survive your journey through driver hell, at
least the hardware can now interchange!
There used to be a time when some Mac fanatics would claim that the Mac
was a "better machine" because EVERY OEM peripheral available for it (both
of them) would "just work", whereas the thousands of third party
peripherals available for PC would require cabling and drivers.
Now, finally, EVERYBODY can experience the joys of peripheral vendor
"support"!
