So plug a regular one in the port on the back.

I do that whenever I'm using my laptop.

For the same reason!

Err...I brought EVERYTHING except for the one thing that would have helped in this little instance. A USB HUB!. It's a T-42 (IBM) ThinkPad. I don't have a docking station, so there are no PS/2 ports on it. There are TWO USB ports on it, but I've got them occupied using a mouse and a USB card reader that I use a LOT.

We're away from home this week, but I "might" hop over to WallyWorld later and pick up a cheap USB hub though. That would at least let me use the full sized USB keyboard that I brought.

The only thing that bothers me more is this touch pad mouse, but I brought the regular mouse! :-)

It's not that big of a deal...just a pet peave of mine....and as I use this laptop keyboard more, I get better with it. :-)

I think the reason they call it a 'think pad' is because it makes you think 'why did I buy this thing to begin with?"

:0)
