BTW- it is not recommended to work with your laptop actually on your lap. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4078895.stm I prefer to do everything with my keyboard, im not a big mouse fan. ASMOF, there is a whole subculture of people who use their keyboard for everything including web surfing. -jmz > > FYI, if you're looking for a good keyboard for your HTPC, I highly > recommend the original Logitech cordless PS3 one: > http://reviews.cnet.com/keyboards/logitech-cordless-mediaboard-for/4505-3134_7-32319140.html. > The touchpad will work just as far as the keyboard does (unlike a normal > cordless mouse), which is pretty far (30 feet or more), it uses a simple USB > connector, requires no drivers, and best of all, lacks a windoze key ;) > > -Joe > > Joshua Zeidner wrote: > > > Thanks Joe! > > any other keyboard connaisseurs here?
