I remember reading some time ago that Powerbooks were still treating their built-in keyboards as ADB devices. Is this still the case with the new Powerbooks?
Thanks.

It was so with my Pismo. <checks System Profiler on new 15Al> hmm, doesn't show up in the first or second tabs. Oddness abounds. It's not USB either.
I think that it is ADB - keyboards don't need anything else. I'm not sure what ADB's bandwidth is like, but <opens KeyCaps on new, Spiffy PowerBook> it recognizes 12 keys pressed at the same time. Apple can probably put the electronics portion of ADB in a square millimeter, and knows all the tricks of ADB inside and out.
Then agian, why not have a USB interface?

It's a cynical remark on what happens in command economies - the standard citizens become slaves. A democratic socialism would be no less oppressive, IMO. Besides, I remember seeing this dumb slogan along several U.S. highways, presumably referring to anti-death-penalty, pro-convict-exploitation policies. What's better at being harsh and mean than to offer vile servitude with the wolves outside?
