Smitty W6CS,

I agree with you for desk operations. My operation is a little weird as I
operate the radio and computer from a recliner. I use the keyboard from my
lap or on the wood arm rest.  The mouse cord gets tangled with the keyboard.
I don't really need or want a wireless keyboard but the new corded mouse
that came with the new iMac has to go.  For contest operations I have used
the Microsoft wireless mouse and it works great.  I am trying to get used to
the new corded Apple Mighty Mouse because I plan on picking up the Bluetooth
version of the Mighty Mouse the next time I visit the Apple Store.
