Keyboard
So, at work I have a nice wireless Logitech keyboard with all the extra multimedia hotkeys and shortcuts one could ever come to think of, and a great laser mouse that even works when I use it on my pants. The problem is, though, that being a wireless keyboard, it sometimes gets interference from either bluetooth devices or some other wireless HID peripherals, and this leads to a lot of stress and keyboard abuse on my part. I was wondering if anybody knew of a good wired keyboard (+ maybe mouse) that my hands won't get tired of using about 8-12 hours a day. Thanks :) Sincerely, Rada ___ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the back, it lists the manufacturing date as 03-15-91. It still feels and works as solid as the day it was born. There are two kinds of keyboards; buckling spring, and crap 8-} As I said when we first unpacked the brand new IBM PCs (around 1984-ish), I'd rather have the light switches on the wall. Push-push-push-CLICK!. Those were the original controversial keyboards with the reduced-size shift keys, because dammit, IBM knew what was best for you. Several years ago I found a bunch of Compaq keyboards, the big rectangular kind with a heavy metal plate in them. They don't have a lot of wasted space around the edge, all the keys are in the right place, they aren't tiring to use, they don't wander around, and they were like $5 each. I think I still have one new in a box.

RE: Erroneous delivery of list e-mail (was Re: adding keyboard after reboot with no keyboard )
Ok, maybe not everything... but everything I KNOW HOW to do... :( I should only be receiving emails addressed directly to my address [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also have a FWD'ing mail that is for emails that send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I went into my server and changed the FWD address of the sales email to another address. The reason I did this was because I tried to unsubscribe and it told me that my address [EMAIL PROTECTED] was not a valid email. I tried emailing myself at every other (not sure what they are called) Prefix's(?) @ my domain. Nothing gets to my inbox. I rerouted the sales address and it started coming back to my inbox... This is all I know how to do to figure out where the mail is being sent to. I logged into the main page for this list and could nto get anywhere either. I tried to look up the addresses of registered users but I obviously do not have access level to do so. I tried to unsubscribe through this page rather than just emailing the unsubscribe address with the email addresses that should be captured. Nothing worked as it said it would send an unsubscribe email for me to complete the request. I never got the emails to complete the unsubscribe request. Either someone is having fun with me, or another email list I am on is getting querky. The weird thing is that it apparently is not only happening to me and other email lists I am on do not go to this address. They go to a yahoo address. I assume it is someone messing with me that thinks this is funny. Someone PLEASE help me!!

I've just instructed the latest visitor to try email way. The most interesting question is where and how it all starts to subscribe?
