Hi Paul, If Jame's recommendation doesn't work for remote control of your emac you might try this:
I think you might go for a nice logitech or Microsoft mouse. Personally I tend to stick with logitech (they tend to be cheaper and just as nice in my book). Here is the logitech website/wireless mouses to give you a good heads up on your choices. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/productlist/US/EN,crid=2134 These mice use a variety of different technology to transmit the wireless signal ( RF and bluetooth primarily). I think bluetooth would probably be the most reliable for what you need (but also the most expensive). I noted that you didn't list bluetooth on your specs, so a usb bluetooth adapter may be an additional cost. RF tends to run on a frequency that is popular for cordless phones (in the U.S, not sure about OZ), thats 2.4 gigahertz. take it easy, Mike --- James Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > I am running the same setup as you, and I have a > Canon Pixma MP750 > multi-function.
