[Ti] Wireless keyboards and mice

With my desktop.

Gyration have a nice kbd & mouse. Works over RF rather than IR, so no 
pointing issues. Costs $100 and a few weeks ago Staples had a whole 
display of it.

Caveat: there seems to be a weird problem that I've encountered with 
two different wireless keyboards, one IR and this RF, that sometimes 
keystrokes get dropped. I was reading up on wireless keyboards on the 
net and from some review I got the impression that it's a matter of 
the computer being somehow otherwise engaged, and the keyboard not 
buffering the missed character. I have no idea if that's an accurate 
statement, but it *is* annoying.

Btw, the Gyration kbd is a windows kbd, but since the "windows key" 
functions as a command key you'll have all your normal modifiers, 
just with command and option reversed.
