So what exactly is the slowness? The keyboard typing? And, is the slowness
on one or the other or both ADB and USB keyboards? (I never really used an
USB keyboard on my B&W so I had no way to test it).
PS You may want to sign up to the g-list on http://www.lowendmac.com - they
have a *lot* of knowledgeable people on there (not to say MUGLOites aren't
knowledgeable either :)... there just are fewer of us with less specialised
hardware).
Eric.
