its pretty hard.
you all should be thankful.
luckily i found some guides on keyboard shortcuts.
i just got a new computer that was given to me and its got 98 on it.
98 sucks for USB ports.
so i need to get a ps2 mouse.
same with my other computer that i put linux on.
except i cant navigate at all on that one because there are no keyboard shortcuts.
thats just a little bit of my life because i got bored.
hope you like it!
after all, this is the lounge isnt it?
talk about anything, computer related or not?
now you can stop feeling sorry for me.
thank you for your time.

Are there any USB ports?

Have you been into bios and checked around for USB support-enabled or something similar?

Sometimes an adapter can be used to plug a USB mouse to a ps2 slot.

Adapter

I think just about any Microsoft USB mouse typically comes with the adapter, well the last three I've bought have, not sure about other brands.
Complexity of incoherent design.
