My Keyboard is plugged into a PS/2 Jack on the back of this XP pc.
I used a Cordless Mouse for a while but still kept the Wired Mouse
plugged in the Jack on the back that's next to the Keyboard Jack in case
the battery ran down on the Cordless Mouse.
I'm using the PS/2 Mouse now, can't remember why I retired the Cordless
Mouse.
