i'm throwing this out there again...

anybody got any recs for a good wireless keyboard...i'm not looking for a wireless mouse because i have a logitech mx 1000 which i enjoy using....it seems it's difficult to find just a wireless keyboard without the accompanying rodent.

any thoughts are appreciated.

Not sure. I'm using a MS wireless keyboard and mouse since it was $15 after MIR :bleh: but it's really stupid since the function keys are not function keys by default. They're mapped to stupid-MS-functions-that-I-never-use keys at bootup.

Moral: maybe it's best to stay away from the MS wireless keyboards if they have this F-lock button. Yes, I am aware there are registry settings that will remove this stupidity for good, but..... why do I have to go through that hoop?

Since i dont use a w/l keyboard, i can't tell you what's good, but i have seen solo w/l kb's at Staples for sale...

oh yeah.. on topic.. i bought a 250gb external hardrive, then it says on the box it can case up to 300gb.. what does that mean? 300 on top of the 250 or 300 in place of the 250?

Uh... no idea, there's no limit on the chipsets that i know of.. i just helped a friend install a 400gb seagate into a Oxford922 (FW800)/USB2 chipped case...

i know older systems can't use drives over 120gb, but those are rare, unless you have an older mac and using 10.3 or earlier.
