Just got a keyspan converter from usb to RS232 so i can plug my Gps into the mac and route 66

but expirednced huge problems randon lockups, trackpad not responding windows opening up and closeing by them selves pointer having a mind of it own. While the in the car.

So reinstalled drivers and rebooted and tryed various things and genrally sodded around for about an hour or so and getting genrally very pissed off.

Then remembered in the boot was my bluetooth mouse in my bag with the batterys in it

Arse problem solved

heh. That's quite amusing, I'm sure it wasn't at the time though!

Oh yeah great fun as this was while lost in birmingham town centre

much swearing but did see amusing side since my mac had not actually died
