Actually, not quite. If the keyboard and mouse are PS/2, then they are not
technically hot-swappable. Lots of people get away with it just fine, but
every now and then someone fries a keyboard controller hot-plugging PS/2
peripherals. If they're USB, fine...PS/2, not so fine. Lots of people get away
with it, but hot-swap/plug is not part of the PS/2 spec...So don't complain if
something breaks.

Thanks,
Josh

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor
do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger
is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either
a daring adventure, or nothing.
