in the “obvious” department..

My new KeyTronic keyboard has an installation manual. It’s contents consist of:

Installation Instructions
1. Turn OFF your computer
2. Insert the keyboard cable connector into the keyboard port on your computer
3. Turn your computer ON. During power-up the computer will run a short test. Upon successful completion of the self-test you can use the system.

Are people *really* that stupid nowdays, that they need instructions on how to hook up a keyboard?

I’ve seen an awful lot of people swapping PS/2 keyboards while the system is running, so I’d say yes, people need instructions.

Yes, they really do. Especially if they’re complete neophytes, such as my grandparents.

People are that stupid and I tend to work with one of their leaders.

Hum … but USB keyboards can be plugged in without turning off a computer … so how would a person know that the KeyTronic can’t do that?
