I highly recommend Micro Anvika (they now have 3 shops all on Tottenham Court Road -- biggest is nearest Tottenham court rd end). I'm not going to rave about them, but walk in (take your powerbook) and tell them that you are interested in the wireless keyboard and as long as you don't do this on a saturday afternoon (and even then it might work) at their busiest time it should be good. I got them to test 3 sets of speakers (including the JBL creatures) last year before I decided against buying any of them. I bought my Ti from them and even had to have it replaced once from them, no sweat. Try to talk to a guy who is a "Mac" guy. They aren't all technical, and these days they mostly sell PC gear (they used to be exclusively Apple and Atari for the music/graphics business in the 90's) but they normally do their best to satisfy. Oh yeah -- I also bought an iPod from them by phoning to reserve one (the new 15 Gb iPods were in short supply at the time) -- Tarik Bilgin
