| 389147 | 2005-09-20 10:56:00 | I've had a Logitech Di Novo bluetooth... hideous thing to set up, went faulty. Got the Di Novo cordless USB next and cannot get it to run on Win XP comp... chucked in the cupboard. I now use a Genius usb corded, got from W/Hse stationery for about $50.00. Looks 'flash', nice and compact, good feel to the keys (all around as good as the logitech but then hell- it's only for typing!) I also got a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse... excellent beast. Seems Logitech still know how to make mice. My advice... cheapish keyboard + good mouse, you'll probaly use the mouse a lot more than the keyboard. |

| 389148 | 2005-09-20 12:29:00 | dude, if your only a light gamer i highly suggest you downgrade to a 6600gt, way better value for money | Tux (606) | ||
| 389149 | 2005-09-21 20:25:00 | 6600gt it is then. It will be rather hard to reach my router with a cable. Is there such thing as erm, a wireless adapter thing for an network cable :confused: I have seen wireless to usb, so I thought there might be wireless to network cable, which I could just plug into my router, the same way the wireless-to-usb would work. Any such thing? Because it would save a lot of bother. |

| 389150 | 2005-09-21 21:24:00 | not really ay, youd need to upgrade to a router that supported wireless and a network hub if you were to use both | Tux (606) | ||
| 389151 | 2005-09-22 07:47:00 | What is a good force feedback joystick? Has anyone got a couple of links so I can read reviews etc? I am not good at googling, I get mainly shops with no reviews :( |

| 389152 | 2005-09-22 11:25:00 | About the wireless router and such, which I know nothing about... My Dad has a Toshiba laptop with Intel Pro 802.11bg wireless LAN, so it needs to work with that. Currently we have a snapgear lite+ firewall/router, and a zyxell prestige 600 series adsl modem. Would this be ok for a wireless router/firewall/adsl to replace all curent things? Linksys WRT54GS, Wireless Router, 4 Port Switch, 54Mbps, 802.11b/g, SpeedBooster www.ascent.co.nz Would it be more/less secure than what we currently have? Will it work with the laptop, even though that does not have the SpeedBooster? I never realised how much stuff you have to know, just to buy a computer. Lucky you guys are here. |

Yes that one there is great, top stuff. And it comes with an adapter in the combo as well, so you can use that in your new PC. Get it if you can. You'll do your self a favour by getting the cables out of sight. In terms of security, as long as you've set it up with the right precautions, it'll be as good as anything. |
