ancient Celeron 433Mhz doesn't see PS2 keyboard but Num Lock works - port dead?

I once had a bent pin in a PS/2 keyboard connector. You might just check to make sure that a pin isn't bent.

How important is dealer proximity to you?

I don't use the dealer. I order parts online.

Couple/few questions I've had

For 3, the axles turn in different directions. Viewed from that driven wheel, one axle is turning CW and the other is CCW. The shock placement is used to prevent tire hop by reducing twisting of the axle.

4s & iOS 8

I own a 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3. I have updated all of them to iOS 8.1. Here are my observations: I don't see much difference in speed between 7.1.3 and 8.1. My 4S runs fine, especially after disabling email in Spotlight Search. My iPad 2 also runs surprisingly well! I don't have any...

MBP (mid 2012) RAM and SSD upgrade recommendations?

I would also consider an Intel SSD for your MacBook. I put one in my Mac Mini and then installed Trim Enabler and have had no problems at all with excellent performance.

Should I upgrade to ML?

I have noticed better battery life on newer devices. But on the Core2Duo powered machines, it is like ML doesn't scale down the processor like it used to.

Should I upgrade to ML?

I had a 13" MBP Pro (mid-2010 with the Core2Duo processor) and battery life was much better on Lion than on Mountain Lion. (~6hrs on ML and closer to 8 on Lion) But I still prefer to have iMessages in the OS (and the beta for iMessages for Lion expires really soon), so I will sacrifice the...

"Restoring" iPhone 5 backup to iPhone 4

I recently bought an iphone5, restored the backup from my 4 but didn't like the 5. I tried to restore the 5's backup to a 4S and iTunes didn't give me the option to do it.

1998 Honda Accord rpm drops on highway

I suspect the idle air control solenoid in the throttle body. Just a hunch.

HD Homerun streaming OTA TV to HTPC

I suspect network bandwidth. It would be interesting if you could connect both the PC and the HDHomerun directly to ports on the router. Are you using Windows Media Center? Media Center writes to the hard drive (records) and then plays that file back. That can be a bottleneck with slow...

Command & Conquer for iOS/Mac?

Since you mentioned iOS in the subject, you can get Red Alert for iOS. Tough to play on the phone but kind of fun on an iPad.

New Chrysler 200 Convertible - brakes emit ear piercing sound.

I'm going to guess that the shield on back of the rotor is the cause.
