Go to Radioshack, buy a cheap USB mouse ($10 or so), keep the USB->PS/2 adapter, toss the mouse into a drawer.

They have them on the site too, pretty cheap. I think you can have it shipped to a local store for pickup for free too, not sure.

He wants to switch in the opposite direction. (edit: clicked your link, and that is what he's looking for - but the USB mouse idea wouldn't really work...)

DonRodriguez, I've seen them on Newegg for ~$5 I think.

yes they do, i think every ps/2 keyboard bought recently comes with one. there's probably 50 of them in the office here.

Most Dells dont. Even their servers are losing them. Quite a shock when I opened up a Poweredge 2900 to find no PS2s.
