[Web4lib] two keyboards and two mouse on on PC

[Stan Kosecki]

Jim:

You certainly can have a dual setting under XP. However, you need to use
USB devices. On more than one occasion, I use two pointing devices. One
USB mouse is so different, that for benefits of my colleagues I need to
attach another USB mouse with more standard functionality. Same with
keyboards. I have one that is ergonomic via PS2. Second keyboard is
wireless (with build in touch pad--a third mouse for you) via USB.
