Tedious and errorprone
the keyboard up out of reach.
It isn't so much the keyboard I was so worried about. Even the good ones can only take so much, but they are easy enough to replace. When we had some toddler games for my handicapped kid (chronological age 20 - mental age about 2) on the same Windows box as my wife occasionally used (most things she did in Linux, but she sometimes dual-booted to the Windows side), well... I wouldn't have had any idea that you could get the system into some of the states that he managed to get it into. And I sometimes didn't have much clue how to undo whatever it was. Windows can be that way. :-( Subsequently my wife got an upgraded system and the kid has his own. If he trashes the system badly enough, I could reinstall from bare metal with nothing important lost... and that system isn't connected to the house network.

Oh, and also, with a wireless keyboad, I don't have to worry about it getting pulled on in such a way as to abuse the poor PS-2 connector.
