yea, think point of discussion involved an understated request for non-animated avatars on forum.

That was actually an advantage of IE that never made it into Firefox. You could click the stop button and animated GIFs would stop.

Yea that sounds nice.  On firefox, do this with adblock. *rightclick "adblock image" ofcourse that just removes the image not stops it. usually good thou.

I've always disliked animated images placed in avatars and signatures on forums because they are overly distracting.  If such distractions are going to be allowed on forums, I usually wind up disabling them altogether in the User Control Panel so that they are no longer a problem.

I dislike images in signatures (or brightly coloured/long text) altogether and generally turn them off on forums that have the option.

I like Avatar images since they're out of the way and make it easy to recognise who's posting, animated or vulgar ones are annoying though.

I do like the way some people have made their signatures use light coloured text, maybe that should be made the default colour?

Well the keyboards got here today, and in perfect condition too :)

Kind of tough to press the keys though...maybe like twice that of the Model Ms. Oh well, not like I'm gonna be touch typing much on them. And they do feel a million times better than that old piece of junk :)

So will these work with just a regular old PS/2->USB adapter or do they need a signal converter like the Model Ms?

Yeah, all the ones on ebay were PS/2.

You'll probably need a converter rather than just a plug adapter then.

I'll find out for sure soon enough :) Ordered a plug adapter just last night, so whenever it gets here we'll see if it works.
