I didn't pay much attention to the mention of ps2 keyboard and mouse ports. I guess that's because I've got a bunch of them here at home.
I agree with Alan about dropping ps2 support. Going to microcenter and fry's I'm seeing that ps2 keyboards and mice are becoming rare and I wouldn't be
surprised if they become unavailable in a few years. The world is going usb.
