Really? Wow...someone must have forgot to tell my desktop (running
WinXP) because it booted fine without a mouse, and after I plugged in
the mouse (use it for my laptop as well) it used it just fine without
having to reboot or any such nonsense. So George, you're full of ***,
yet again.

Lol...poor George, so lost, it's not even funny... George, you
ignorant ***, when a PC goes into standby, if you can't wake it up
with a USB device you can do the same thing that is available on the
Mac to wake it up...ie: Hit the power button momentarily, and it will
wake up just fine...no need to reboot.

I'm impressed George...You got NOTHING right in this post.
