    I wouldn't be able to get past the login. Apparently, the mouse doesn't show up at all, and I HAVE to hit Enter in order to proceed to my settings. So, yeah. That's what I get for using Microsoft's OSes.
    yeah and you couldn't use the onscreen keyboard either :O that's what you get for using a login screen!

    Actually, it wasn't by choice. My cousin was trying to install a wireless card on the computer, and he never finished. For some reason, it permanently disabled the "skip login screen" function for single profile computers.

    And it's not even the profile screen, with the "choose user names" or anything. It's the big black screen with HP_Admin login. My computer has been, and is being treated as though it were part of a multi-computer network, which it isn't.

    I would get by well without either, although I wouldn't exactly enjoy it xD

    On my laptop, I have fingerprint login, so I don't need the keyboard there. On my desktop, I have screen keyboard software that came with my drawing tablet which is visible on the login screen.

    As for no mouse, if there's a shortcut I don't know I can always use Mouse Keys or whatever it's called, where you use the numpad as a mouse.

    Pretty well I suppose. I had to get used to my laptop's touchpad for a few years before I got a mouse.

    I have had to function without a mouse, and believe me, it's preferable to not having a keyboard.

    I once had my computer break so in the mean time I reset up my old computer which hardly worked, but would give me internet, so I managed to navigate online by use of key board for a full 3 days. Getting around this place was insane on key board I tell you!

    I'm pretty good without a mouse.

    In fact, I read this entire thread, posted this post, and then edited it using only my keyboard.

    Well I'm viewing this thread from a Linux terminal in Links.

    Most of my time at work I'm either SSHed into a Solaris box, or just writing code in Vim, so I spend a lot of time without a mouse.

    I've had to go without a mouse many times and, for a while there, keyboard as well. The keyboard is hardest to be without because if the mouse dies, I can just use tab and such to get windows open. But without keyboard, I have to draw pix in messenger windows to let people know my keyboard sucks D=

    I'd probably have to do a lot of copying/pasting to be able to make posts here. I'd probably also have a hard time finding some letters to copy like Q, Z, and other rare letters.
