    I have just bought a 'labtec wireless optical mouse' in anticipation of my laptop, due to arrive in a day or so, and have found that it's supposed to plug into the PS/2 port. Being fairly computer illiterate, can someone tell me whether most modern notebooks support this, or whether i should just return it?
    Thanks.

    most new notebooks don't have a ps/2 port. i'm surprised the mouse uses a ps/2 port or doesn't at least include a ps/2>usb adapter.
