8839	2001-02-17 04:22:00	Hi, Unfortunately I accidently spilled half a gloass of coke over my current AT keyboard. Although I shut down everything immediately, stripped it down and cleaned out the mess i still get dings coming from my sound card speakers, (ding ding ding) and I suspect I may have to get a new keyboard. Can anyone advise if the later USB type are any better or worse as far as reliability and setting up are concerned? Thanks	Guest (0)

Sometimes additional software may be required for more advanced functions, but Windows handles that most of the time anyway. One advantage of USB keyboards is that you can remove them and put them in while the computer is on without the risk of any problems. One thing however, I am interested in knowing whether USB keyboards would only be recognised under Windows, and not DOS.	Guest (0)

Having said that I dont know if the non support applies to the DOS prompt under Windows or not. If this is the case then it wouldn't be much good to me as I use the DOS command line a lot. Perhaps someone else may have an answer. Bob. :>)	Guest (0)
