Thanks. I=E2=80=99m trying to setup an IRC client now. I just tried =
Adium on macOS and that seems to be having trouble so I=E2=80=99ll try =
on linux next.

I unplugged the Apple Cinema Display USB hub and the apple keyboard from =
the front and plugged a Sun USB keyboard into the rear and it worked!

Not sure which of those caused the USB trouble. I=E2=80=99ll experiment =
later. But this is great!

Thanks,
Tom=
