What Steve has written here is 100% on target. That's what I did and I also purchased a Palm pad and an X-10 transmitter module from X-10.com.
This way I can roll up to my desk and turn on my computer with a mouse stick and the Palm pad. There is a rollover mat, but I would only use this approach if your client doesn't have the ability to use a mouse stick. Additionally, it would be very beneficial for your client to have the ability to use a mouse stick in order to avoid hard booting the computer every time DNS ends up getting locked up with a program. Awfully this helps. Quadius On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 8:16 PM, Steve Oldaker <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > Try this if you have not done so yet: > > 1.
