No, mouse can not be used in a recliner. Read my buried introductory comment at the bottom of the page.

Agreed. That's why I use my left hand to control the mouse, even though I'm right-handed. Less movement, less muscle-stress.

Why spend 3 hours sawing a crappy MS keyboard when you can have: http://pfuca-store.stores.yahoo.net/haphackeylit1.html http://pfuca-store.stores.yahoo.net/haphackeylit1.html Notice that the ctrl key is in the correct position to the left of the 'a', and that there are dip switches to swap meta and super, and another to swap del and bs. Additionally there are 2 usb 1.1 ports (perfect for my powermate, which I use to control volume since it doesn't have multimedia keys). Also notice that Delete/Backspace is in the position usually taken by '\', which means you don't have to stretch your pinky (although it takes about 4 hours to get used to. I now go from this keyboard to other keyboards, and suprisingly I don't accidently mess this up). Also, esc is in the '~' place, and '\' and '~' are where backspace would have been. Another fantastic keyboard is: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB167LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTYzOTUwNA http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB167LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg... I have the small apple keyboard also, it is a standard layout, but it is bluetooth.

  You want to buy a keyboard because it has the modifier keys swapped? The OS will do this for you for free, and you don't have to learn where the useful keys moved to... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2490#l1 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2490#l1 Even if you like where they are on your keyboard, I suggest disabling Caps Lock.

    And also the other reasons I listed, and also in the context of "I want a small keyboard, should I cut up a crappy one and spend 3 hours to get it together again or just pay 60 bucks." I mean, I spend maybe 8-12 hours a day on this stupid ass machine, and I spend maybe 20 minutes in my car. I spend enough to completely buy my entire computer setup every 2-3 months just in car payments. How does that make sense? If I was sensible at all I would either have a much much much crappier car, or I would buy a Multron keyboard. http://www.maltron.com/maltron-kbd-ltype-intro.html http://www.maltron.com/maltron-kbd-ltype-intro.html
