To continue:
I use the Logitech cordless optical trackman on the iMac that I use for
EyeTV in the living room. I just checked it and with used batteries it
was still working from 8 feet away.
I could use one of the bluetooth keyboards, but I haven't sprung for that.

Yes, but those are all PC keyboards mostly with separate mice except
for the expensive ( $185 )one made by Apple and it has no integral
pointer / mousepad.
The reason I am looking for such is to turn a white Tiger macbook with
a broken unreadable screen into a multimedia center machine (mostly
for downloading and playing movies) by placing it in the cabinet and
hooking the video to a the large screen LDC digital TV and adding an
external drive to it.
It's working great except that it requires getting up from the couch
and kneeling before the TV cabinet for every adjustment etc. and THAT
is a REAL nuisance and kind of defeats everything.
(So would having a keyboard with a separate mouse as there is no where
to place the mouse but one's lap.)
