I have two people on this network that still use serial touchpads. They
are horrible things by today's standards. It has something to do with
fear of carpal tunnel. One is built into the keyboard and have the old
5-pin DIN connector also so I've had to dig up adapters for this
keyboard so that they can keep the touchpad. :-)
