I always use a WIRED keyboard to Laptop* to ensure it will start up with a working usable keyboard. I use both laptop keyboard and a wired keyboard at same time, depends on desk position. I also use a wired mouse. Experience of having a dead keyboard during a live negotiation for a contract taught me a lot. A big fight at firm I work for to ensure I got a wired keyboard while they only bought wireless devices. - -- regards Eion MacDonald - -- regards Eion MacDonald -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlUHZ9oACgkQI6BLiyvmlQmtOACfY5vRuo54xrQdINSuyBv4nN7n Y+wAn1SVc/3ZuwptIEn8tfXhFg7lucOi =3r1t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
