Hi Listers,
A few years ago, I decided that since I was using Jaws and had no need for the
screen, why should I have to be tied to the computer to use the computer.
Here's what I did. I connected an FM transmitter to the sound card of my
computer and now use a small FM radio or my Sansa mp3
My Apple Bluetooth keyboard is able to operate my iPhone from all over the
house. I've never used it with a Windows machine, but I assume that results

Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for the info. I did some checking this morning and found
what seems to be maybe a better RF wireless keyboard than I've got. I'm
