Yes I have a dinosaur of a computer- 2 USB ports and then the old school keyboard and mouse ps/2 ports. The speaker I had connected via the USB port along with my mouse left me having to use an old school keyboard that was only detected part of the time. Tonight the keyboard port went out completely forcing me to decide between sound and the ability to type. It was tough!
Thankfully I recalled a very old monitor sitting in my closet that had built in speakers- I thought about my home theater set up and realized that I had the cables and tools necessary to do the needful. I disassembled the monitor and pieced together a new surround sound for my computer freeing up ALL ports so I was able to hook up one of my USB keyboards without compromising sound! Yay me! Thankfully I had that monitor because I was starting to scroll through the things around the apartment with speakers and the only other thing was my television in my bedroom. I am a frugal geek.
Now that I have my system set up and a reliable keyboard hooked up, I can probably get to my e-mail that has been collecting in my inbox for almost a month. Not tonight though. Nope- tonight I’m going to put down my keyboard and click on a Netflix Watch Now horror film (I have to- it’s Halloween week) and enjoy my new sound system.
Tomorrow I will place my ballot in the mail and then bate my breath for the next week.
I FINALLY got to cast my vote and I’m a very happy woman! I feel good. I’m going to watch people get slaughtered now on Netflix.
Ciao!
