Some just have a short bit of it. That's fine if you don't
need the length. I'm finding the straight cord just reaches
so just as well it's not curled in the middle.

AM>How did you manage with the big, old DIN-plug on the end?

I had an adaptor for it and on *most machines there was
enough room that it didn't get in the way.

I haven't used them, other than briefly for the mouse, but
people I know who use them all the time warn that sometimes
they are fussy about which USB port they are plugged into.
Sounds strange but several people have verified it so if it
seems to be acting up, try a different USB port.

AM> My USB camera and memory-stick work fine.

I have a Digital Camera and Chip reader and have used USB
Joysticks and mice (mouses?) and all worked fine. I'd expect
you wouldn't have any problem.
