[olug] Wireless mouse and keyboard

[Jeff Hinrichs]

I've got a Logitech DiNovo mini

and although pricey, I've never regretted it.  Use it for my primary
entertainment center.  Even after more than a year, it holds a charge for
weeks and the range is respectable, 20+ feet.  I don't use it farther than
that most of the time.

Best,
-Jeff
