                       A little bit about a little Mac

Smirk misunderstood an entry [1] I made last week, thinking that I wanted to
keep the Mac mini [2] I was testing for work. He went ahead and ordered the
PS/2 to USB (Universal Serial Bus) adaptor (and a few extras for the office)
so I could use a real keyboard (along with DoubleCommand [3] since the IBM
keyboards I use don't have Windows keys).

At that point, I figured I was having so much fun with the Mac that I might
as well keep it, seeing how it was below steet price to begin with.

But that wasn't my intent with the entry. At the time, I was cursing the
keyboard I was using and wishing I could use an IBM PS/2 keyboard. It was
then I decided to search Google [4] for a “PS/2 to USB adaptor” and lo'—there
it was.

So I really meant: “Ask Google, and ye shall receive.” Not “ask Smirk, and ye
shall keep.”

But I kept the Mac mini anyway.
