What's the point of USB keyboards+mice = Re: EPROM and EEPROM

tony's not stupid; I think he sees why USB exists. But I think his point is that, while (like any flag day) it's in the interest of computer makers to impose it, it isn't in the interest of the end users. I agree with him. USB is great for hardware makers, since it enforces obsolescence, thus ensuring a stream of new sales - well, actually, it's not having USB that's good, but eliminating non-USB (and even tony doesn't seem to mind having USB for the things it is good at, just its imposition for other stuff it's unnecesary-to-negative for). It's not great for end users - for most of them it's a minor lose (and for a few it's a major lose and for a few it's a win). /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
