One caveat to that. With a USB mouse you can pull it anytime whether the
system is on or not. It might complain that you didn't "stop" the mouse
first, but you can't lose data or crash the machine by unplugging or
replugging a USB mouse.

A PS/2 mouse should only be plugged or unplugged when the system is OFF.
Otherwise you get a freeze or a crash.
