Yes those so very talented humans who design the products we enjoy. They are awesome designers. Reminds me of Leonardi da Vinci.

Hi ET,
I agree its quite amazing how the "DESIGNERS" of this technology we take for 
granted has developed in the last 10 years!
I wonder if the little green men had similar tech! :)
Remember its for man to invent and discover!
YMMV

really began in the 18th century, less than 300 years ago. And now we actually 
have Dick Tracy watches.

  I like to think that there are photos and videos from the moon landings and 
fly bys that remain classified. Alien footprints, moon bases. Etc.

To bring this back on topic, how about the early Apple 2C computer that had the 
separate 10 inch CRT monitor that was only 20 lbs instead of the full sized 70 
lbs color monitor.  The computer itself was sort of a laptop like but very 
squared form factor, very weird design because you had really no card slots to 
speak of and I believe it was a 3.5 inch disk.  It was pretty clever.
        My first laptop was a Toshiba 286 12 megahertz (yes twelve megahertz) 
dos machine with an Artic synthesizer that fit in a special slot and business 
vision as the screen reader.

Word Perfect 51 baby! :)

Good times
Even with things like accessibility it’s amazing how far we’ve come but also 
what we were able to accomplish even back in the day with limited resources.

In the interest of the date let’s remember that 47 years ago right now 3 brave 
humans were streaking back to earth having successfully landed on the moon.  
Why mention this in an apple forum, your iPhone today has more computing power 
than the entire Apollo program.  In fact several times. So get out there and do 
something special with all that capability.:)

And for ET, some people think Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin might have had a 
cheering section waiting for them when they landed on the surface.

Remember the old Compaq? They called it a "portable" but that was only
if you happened to be a weight-lifter. I actually bought a little cart
with wheels so I could truck the thing around with me. Lol! Ah, the
memories!

Yes, aI am that old. <grin>

So I feel like I’ve beamed back to 1985 for a minute where laptops were like
large lunch pails and had 10 inch CRT screens installed and weighed 50 lbs.

They are really that tricky to move?

What ever works.  For me, especially the new air or MBP they are so light
why bother.  Maybe I’m spoiled because I have more than one but I just leave
them around my work areas and can easily sit back in bed and do work or in
the recliner or where ever.
To me a bluetooth or wireless keyboard makes more sense on your desktop type
installations.  Say an iMac where I would as the original poster mentioned
want to sit on my couch and control with out having to sit at the desk
directly in front of it.  Laptops though to me are already portable and
having another keyboard is just another thing for me to forget to put away
and step on.:)

As they say though, different strokes for different folks.  What you talkin
about Willis?

;)

To each his/her own. My MBP has things connected to it and its much

that, that is great.

Hi. Yes I see your point but I personally wouldn’t pair an additional
keyboard because these laptops are light enough as it is. If I had a
bulky Windows laptop hooked up to my speakers! Then I would use an
additional keyboard.

If my air is sitting on my desk and I'm lying on the couch  why
wouldn't I use a wifi keyboard.

Hi. Why would you need another keyboard as the Mac Book Pro and the Air
already have keyboards?

Not that model but I have used a 700 series model on my mac book air.

Curious if anyone uses this keyboard on a Macbook Pro. Its a wireless
model, not Bluetooth, uses a USB transmitter.
