I did go to college, I just dropped out a few credits before I graduated. Everybody always assumed that one must be educated by normal means to be capable of intelligent discourse or thoughts. I disagree entirely. Not everybody learns by simply being fed information. Plus - and this is an entirely different rant - the school system in America is designed for the purpose of creating workers for the job market. I have absolutely no desire to work to enrich somebody else and thus I opted out of that game.

I start and run companies. The people I hire enrich me. Everybody needs an idea but there are SO MANY ideas out there. If I had 4 more of me, I would start up 4 more companies right now. Some are complex and some are simple but they all have potential. Not every idea is sound but there are PLENTY of ideas out there. You need to start thinking like an entrepreneur to begin to see them. Once you do - they become as clear as day - and most other people completely miss it.

I mostly create internet or high tech companies - thats my area of expertise - but I am thinking about moving to real estate or a rapid prototyping field just for fun at some point. Real cool stuff, that is.

I started with very little. I did have some initial financial resources, but not that much. I took a calculated risk and my first company paid off. If it had not, I would have started again with something else. Without a little help to start with, it would have likely set me back 5 - 8 years if I decided to work for a living or a few months while I secured financing. There is far more money than good opportunities out there - I find it hard to believe that so many people get held back because it is "too much risk" or "too hard to achieve". sure, people with 2 kids and 1 income might not want to bet the farm but still - you don't have to have all of the answers but you do need to have a clear path of what you are going to do, who your customers are and how exactly you plan on entering and exiting your company. You plan what you are going to do and adjust along the way - you don't haphazardly enter anything without a clear idea of what you want and at least double the initial capitalization you think you need.

Back to the PS/2 device. I don't see why you could not just split the signal. That would not work for a USB device as it needs to communicate both ways (and thus need to be emulated) but as long as you could trick the host device into thinking there was a PS/2 port attached - any data sent on it should just be picked up normally.

Maybe something like this? http://www.vetra.com/Elimina2.htm

It has promise, I suppose but no guarantees.
