I bought one of these when my previous IR keyboard/thumbpad died: http://shop4.outpost.com/product/3583824 It works at a greater distance than the cheaper RF keyboards/mice. Switching from a notebook-sized keyboard to a full-size 104-key keyboard is nice as well (everything is in the right place, unlike with some recent Microsoft and Logitech keyboards). The optical mouse is small enough that you can use it on the armrest of your favorite recliner. :-) I haven't tried doing anything with the bundled presentation controller (maybe it works with OpenOffice's presentation program as well as PowerPoint), but the keyboard and mouse work fine with Linux. (Make sure you have USB HID support available before you connect it...I suppose that would be a given on a Mac, but you probably aren't using it on x86 hardware. The receiver dongle plugs into a USB port.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
