With the state of the modern software (and x86 hardware)
its really hard to say whether there's a problem or is it
possibly just the usual M$ crap :-)

I found a very old keyboard in the attic the other day.
I tried to smash it with a heavy hammer (so my grandfather
wouldn't pick it from the dustbin because it looked usefull, heh).

The thing wouldn't give up easily. Its just amazing how well
these things were built years ago.

With the new 10$ keyboards....just look at it and it will fall apart.

And the new Microsoft optical mouse....supposedly works for ever
since there is no mechanical optical encoder. But they used cheap
microswitches for the buttons, started making troubles after less
than 2 years.
