Note to Apple #1 : Most PC owners have never purchased a USB keyboard 2

Apple on the Mac Mini: “Bring your own monitor, keyboard and mouse (or buy new ones)”. What’s not so easy to find on http://www.apple.com/uk/macmini/ is that PS2 mice and keyboards are as useful to the Mac Mini as an Atari 2600 joystick.

I hazard a guess that most PC owners have never purchased a USB keyboard. A casual glance at our office computer graveyard seems to confirm this : all but one of the 45 keyboards were PS2-based (and the exception was from an old iMac anyway).

Apple: if you don’t want to dissapoint your customers as soon as they switch their Mini on then please include a PS2 to USB converter. Surely they can’t be as expensive as the DVI to VGA converter you supply?
