[time-nuts] Serial port / Mouse issue (was mentionedin"Thunderbolt Monitor")

[dlewis6767]

aha

It may be that this HP pavilion I use for GPS work does not have a mouse, 
per-se.

I just use the finger pad on the keyboard, ....got accustomed to it.

I always boot with the little usb adapters installed, ....sometimes two of 
them, ...no problems yet.
