Interesting.  Especially about Linux.  Sun, of course, has (at least
for the Sparc version of Solaris) the same kind of hardware vendor
support Apple has, though I forgot to mention them (and also DEC, or
what's left of DEC after it got swallowed a couple of times).

It's interesting that Linux would support USB mice and keyboards,
precisely because they don't have much hardware vendor support.
