Untill, however, I started playing around with wireless and optical 
devices. With a wireless keyboard, every time I changed the channel, I 
would have to unplug the keyboard connector and plug it back in. With an 
optical mouse, it doesn't matter if I have wired or wireless, every time 
I change the channel, I have to do the CTL+ALT+Backspace to kill X and 
restart it bacause the mouse protocol goes wacky.
