N/A to me May 31, 2006

I've changed my keyboard to a wireless one about two months ago but it was a gift from my husband.

He was fed up with the noise my old keyboard used to make (he complained he culdn't sleep when I was working at night) and so he bought me this wireless keyboard+mouse set, although I still use my old mouse because the new one gets stuck sometimes.

My husband is trying to convince me to buy another one, but I love this one. (I think he wants to add on the excitement of shopping new computer toys.)

Even when I buy a new one, I will buy the same thing.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it May 31, 2006

I try to live by that saying, though I am sometimes tempted. I bought a Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard over a year ago. It fits my big hands very well and has a delayed touch. I also like the built in hot keys it has. I keep all other keyboards that have come with various computers as spares. You never know...

I took a picture of the keyboard before.
