Hi,
I'm looking for a new keyboard and mouse for my computer.
It needs to be wireless - does anyone have any suggestions?
These are the programs I use the most (just in case it matters):
- Visual Studio
- Outlook
- Word
- Internet Explorer
- Excel
Regards,
Kenneth

The only way your going to find the "best" keyboard is to go and see what your hands feel like. There are people who swear by those split keyboards that are supposed to be ergonomic and easier on your hands. Then there are those who think they're crap. I'm a member of the latter camp. You might not be. Just go and try 'em.
I use a Logitech G15 myself. Those extra buttons and the center display can be used for more than just games!

I second dave, its a quite personal thing. I dont think the split ones are good, cause when switching keyboards it takes a few mins to adjust. I use a saitek eclipse (the first one) it has nice soft quiet keys, and one of them adjustable wrist rest things,

(they keys shine a nice blue, the new ecplipse II can switch between three colors)

You're right - there no such thing as a "best" keyboard that fits everyone!
However - I was really looking for some information on the keyboards that other programmers are using... That probably wasn't clear in my post - my bad!
I've been looking into getting a Logitech Cordless Desktop MX - I've had it before and it was great. But unfortunately Logitech ain't making it anymore - so I might very well be giving the Logitech G11 a try... It should be like the G15, but without the LCD-display. Are the keys "soft" on the G15 can you use the extra buttons for macro's in e.g. Visual Studio and other programs that I might like - or are they locked to a fixed number og programs?

Kenneth

The keys are programmable! You can create keyboard macros with teh Logitech software and play them back at any time.

So I went with the G11 and have had it for a little over a week now - and so far it's been great.
I was wondering if you have some great tips on which kind of keystrokes/functions you have "macro'ed"? I'm especially interessed in those you're using in Visual Studio...

Oh, just stuff I use alot. A few things I use frequently would be a template for adding SqlParameter objects, class templates, some methods I use pretty fequently, ... Basically, anything you would use a code snippet for that you use frequently.

is it posible running windows XP to detect if the screen monitor (any type, size, brand) is connected to the ac power line and for how long it had it been in that state (and keep a log file of all changes of ON-OFF state)
|
|
|
|

Yes, but the monitor would need to have a usb port, and you'd have to know how to detect the monitor via usb, blah blah blah.
No, I don't know specifics, but the method I described so poorly seems viable to me.

I cannot recall how it is called, but there is a technique to query a monitor for possible resolutions, frequencies, etc.
If it is possible to initiate such a check, one might assume that the monitor is off if there is no reply. That, however, ignores old monitors which do not support that mechanism.
Othen than that, you could hire someone to sit in front of the monitor and press buttons accordingly.... child labor, etc....

But he doesn't care about resolutions and frequencies - he wants to determine the current power state (on or off).

I think you can use some Old Versions of Nero. But I'm not sure.

What Hardware devices are available to hook up more than 4 EIDE Hard Drives running under Windows 2000?
I currently have 2 drives as masters and 2 drives as slaves in the computer.
In my opinion SCSI devices are way too expensive to use compared to the EIDE drives that keep dropping in price these days.
Thank You All
KK

You can buy an additional IDE controller card. SATA is also available, but make sure you can get Win 2K drivers for the card before buying one.

switching mobos without reinstalling windows is always a gamble. It only works if the boards are very similar. If they're too different it won't work and you have no choice but to reinstall. XP is supposed to be better at this than older versions though. Was the win98 as dual boot, or a different system?

Have you tried rebooting your router? What model of router and wireless card are you using?

Is this possible, and would it require a format of the HD?
Thanks,

Sure it's possible. It should not require a reformat of the hard drive. You MIGHT need to reinstall Windows though. Unless the motherboard you have supports the processor your putting in, you're going to have to replace it - thus requiring changes to Windows.

Assuming your motherboard will let you swap out (most 939, AM2, and LG775 board will)...
Make sure you follow the instructions necessary for the specific OS to support dual-core (the one for Wind2k is different from the one used for XP).
In the mean time, it won't hurt you to run a dual-core CPU until you get your system patched.
If you're going to swap out motherboards, then yes, you will have to re-install Windows.
