    Well, I have a few new toys at the moment, but king of the heap is definately my Microsoft cordless desktop pro, which is a wireless split keyboard and mouse. It's unbelievable how sexy this thing is. I'm interested to know what sort of keyboard people use, so I thought I'd call a poll. If you use a proper split keyboard, vote 5, and if you are using a traditional, RSI inducing keyboard, vote one, and go see a physio. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

          I have had the same keyboard for a year or so, and I love it. I use a Logitech mouse though, as most of Microsoft's mouses kills my fingers. One day with a MS mouse and one of my fingers hurt quite a bit, it goes away with my Logitech mouse :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

            I'm not a big fan of Microsoft mice either - but that's mostly becuase the IntelliSense drivers they have (or used to have) always seemd to mess up in strange and unpredictable ways. I've gone all optical now as far as mice are concerned. Mostly just your run-of-the-mill optical wheel mouse, but I have a Targus mini-mouse for my work laptop. :) An expert is somebody who learns more and more about less and less, until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

                    I have been shopping around for a pocket pc. I cant wait to pick one up! I just bought a new cell phone with bluetooth so I can use the pocket pc (once I purchase it) to connect to the internet through my phone. I am just dying to get a pocket pc, I think they rock! :)

                                          Well, I have a few new toys at the moment, but king of the heap is definately my Microsoft cordless desktop pro, which is a wireless split keyboard and mouse. It's unbelievable how sexy this thing is. I'm interested to know what sort of keyboard people use, so I thought I'd call a poll. If you use a proper split keyboard, vote 5, and if you are using a traditional, RSI inducing keyboard, vote one, and go see a physio.

I've got the same keyboard you do at present, but put in a 5 button Wireless Intellimouse Explorer Optical Whatever Thingy XP Etc Etc to use instead of the mouse that comes with the keyboard (which is too small to use comfortably)
