Finally the cheap HK$19 USB keyboard saves the day

This morning I suddenly have an urge to tryout the USB keyboard I brought 2 months ago when I brought it assuming that the x86 version of Mac OSX requires a USB keyboard. I found out later that the PS/2 keyboard was recognized by the Intel OSX, and found myself a bit silly spending the money on the keyboard. But today, when I bootup the OSX, the PS/2 keyboard was not being recognized, and it was the USB keyboard which allows me to continue my work on the Mac. very strange indeed. But then it's computer. Always expect the unexpected.
