Eric,
Now, this is even later!
She found things to work well, no problems with the dial-up (she only uses
about 13 hours/month). But the MS software allows her to configure the
keyboard and mouse more to her liking. Once she learned to use the right
click buttons it saved her a lot of movement.
Have used USB overdrive for some games and it is good for the Gravis
Gamepad.
Calling it a night - the kids are going to be up in a few hours! =)
