The flipping thing has PS2 ports on it. (No offence to people with jenky old PCs ;) ) |

It's not as common on laptops (especially the smaller netbook style systems), but desktop systems definitely still provide them to some degree. Just looking at a random motherboard on NewEgg (the first ASUS board on their list since that's a well known, high end brand), I see a PS2 port. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131654 Even the most expensive AMD board listed on NewEgg (a $250 Gigabyte) has a PS2. I wouldn't expect that every board would, but PS2 isn't a litmus test for how old a machine is. ;D |

Mine is on dial up. Kidding. One is on the network, One isnt. The one that is usually doesnt have the cat5 plugged in unless Im doing something on it. It lacks antivirus and a buncha other stuff, its just not online enough for me to think its needed (and its connection is heavily firewalled with a static internal IP) when it is online. |

And how about I qualify the PS2 issue; It won't actually accept commands on the bios screen from a usb keyboard. :P |
