You sir are a genius. That is such an excellent idea....I wonder why Apple
didn't think of that.....because you are right. The majority of potential
Windows switchers would probably have that type of mouse/keyboard connector
and not USB.
Er, all my PCs have USB k&m and they're all 600MHz or slower. Same at work, except they're all around 3GHz...
Here, we've only just started getting USB mice; keyboards are still PS2 standard; we get Gateways and Dells. USB keyboards are optional.
The little USB-PS/2 converters we get with these systems work with mice, but not keyboards.
I will not be surprised if Apple starts quietly including PS/2 keyboard-USB adapters with the Mini, or selling special 'Switcher' kits that include them.
They're exceedingly cheap: <http://tinyurl.com/45o35>
A MUG could probably generate a lot of goodwill buy buying a fishbowl full of these packed in an envelope with a small card for their group and selling or giving them away in Apple stores or other local dealers.
I don't know how independent Apple store managers can be, but this would be a damned good idea, period.
