I wanna cordless mouse/keyboard...and I can't!
Having got a new flat screen and new printer, I decided to complete my update by getting a new mouse and keyboard...the mouse doesn't work very well even when I clean it, and the keyboard is...well, old and tatty looking with the letters rubbed off some of the keys. I decided I fancied cordless ones, and ordered them off the Internet from the company I got my screen from. Well, they arrived today, but wouldn't work. I phoned the company's technical support, and it's because I have an old AT connector for the keyboard, not the newer PS/2 ones. Well, can't I get something to convert from one to the other, I asked? Yes, I can, but it won't work for cordless mice and keyboards even if I do! So, I have it all packed up to return to the company, but I just wondered...is this true? Why, if an adapter exists, won't it work? Or do they mean it just might not. Like when my digital camera said it wouldn't work with Windows 98 upgrade and a USB port you'd put in by yourself...and of course it does. Is this a not so subtle plot to persuade me to buy a new PC? Or is it really true? Because I really really do fancy cordless everything if I can.
