Subject: [9fans] Question about VAIO laptop and mouse support [was ideal Plan9 Laptop]

When asked, "What is the ideal Plan9 laptop?", I have seen responses
praising the Sony VAIO. My question is what do you use for an external
mouse? I can pick up a 505TR but the external mouse port is USB. Does plan9
support USB or do people use a PS/2 mouse with and external adaptor?

Thanks in advance,
Gene

pointing thing:

too primitive for much else except pointing and grunting so one has to have
a mouse anyway. [ask any graphics artist, or a long time illustrator user
like me]
