It's a pity your useragent (G2?) doesn't word wrap.

For my PS2 keyboards I use:

Thanks for the info.
 
Yes these are the type converters I was talking about ... I guess
the circuitry is in that little box in the middle of the cable.
Triplite's web page says it only draws 18 ma, so the rest of the usb
power is available to the keyboard and mouse.
 
I need to get one of these to keep on hand for emergencies.

I forgot to ask ... Do you know if these work OK if I only plug in
one ps/2 device? e.g. Using a ps/2 keyboard, with no mouse plugged in?
 
I assume it would, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

Yes indeed. That's how my wife uses it. She plugs a USB
mouse into a USB port.

They sure do say that alright. They also say "Adaptation or extinction, pick one." Well, maybe they don't say it but I do. :)

Yup Feb. 25th was my first post, you would think that after I had
proven that I know how to cook and that I do share recipes and that I
am not a troll yada yada that people would be more kind and accept me
for who and who and what I am...
 
Well I can honestly say that there are a few decant people here bit
the rest are ass holes.... I will leave it to you to decide which you
are. Well ok I will narrow it down.. There is only one or two other
decant people here (besides me) of course.

Home made bread with home made pulled pork.
 
The bread was a buttermilk and spelt with fresh chives from the yard.

Nor did any of the other countries. But it's a bit harder if the
Germans can just walk in because you border on them, without any water
in between.

It was Kennedy who wrote While England Slept and it clearly showed how
little he knew about anything. In 1935 my father was asked to leave
his merchant navy job and go and train on HMS Hood in preparation for
war. Although Chamberlain was full of 'peace in our time' other
players knew it wasn't going to be and one should be prepared.

I have two friends who were young girls in Germany at the time. Moose
would be quite surprised to know what they have to say and it's
nothing flattering about Hitler, they knew bombings and starvation. I
don't understand Mooses attitude, I have nothing against my German
friends, nothing was their fault, anymore than mine.

He keeps accusing me of being anti German. My life long friend was born
in Germany. His family was my second family. Part of my family roots are
German. He had ancestors who were in the Waffen SS and he says I
don't know about them, but I have read enough to
know that, while other branches of the German armed forces were
apolitical, the Waffen SS were Nazis. He keeps saying that I heard too
many lies from my father, but he has been listening to his Nazi relatives.

I'll remember that. I agree that salt doesn't hurt. I've put it in at
the beginning and at the end. The result was fine in both cases.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention; If yoose use salt in the soaking water,
less salt is needed later, either before or after the beans are cooked.
 
The salted water is discarded and the beans rinsed, but salt does
get inside the beans as they soak, so don't add as much salt till
you taste them. It's very hard to fix oversalted food.

I think I've always added the salt after the soaking stage. But, yeah,
it's better to be careful. You can add more but you can't take it out.
