My new toys/a poll
-
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 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!"

My Photos[^]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.

We have some of these Gyration Ultra Professional Optical Suite[^] for our marketing trade show machines - really cool being able to navigate screens by moving a mouse (that has a built in Gyroscopic motion sensor) thru the air. Steve

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! :)

You've had no new toys since you were 14 ? If that were me, I'd be all bitter. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

I have an ipaq, and it rules. It's the 5500, and it has a fingerprint scanner for security. It works really well, and is a lot more geeky than a password. If I was going to do what you want though, I'd buy an O2, so I had the phone in the pocket PC. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

Here's the best site I got out of a quick google: http://pda.o2.co.uk/[^] Actually, this is better: www.o2.com[^] It didn't come up on google, but it seemed obvious to try :-) Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

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)

Stuff those new-fangled wireless keybaords. 1993 vintage IBM keyboard with individual micro-switches all the way for me! Rubber membrane keyboards are for VB programmers ;) "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff!

Whatever happened to Microsoft's keyboard with the scrollwheel-thingy on the left side (this one[^])? I'm very intrigued by the idea of a scrollwheel on a keyboard, but I never had a chance to try it out...and none of their latest natural keyboards have it. I'm not going back to a "plain" keyboard either, wheel or not. And I don't want a wireless keyboard/mouse. My MS mouse was eating through batteries on a monthly basis, and I hated it. For that matter, I don't need an additional mouse at all...no combos for me. ...and I can live with a wired keyboard. ...oh, and MS has to stop messing with the layout and location of the cursor and Home/End/Ins/Del keys with each new keyboard... Am I asking too much? I expect my original Natural Elite (had it since 1994!) to die any minute now...
