I use their keyboards, seem to be the only one making a backlighted one that
isn't a peice of shit as for being a keyboard.

Kind of nigger, I'll admit that, but comes in handy at 3:30 in the morning
with low light levels.

But they do make a lot of accessories, computer cameras were a big ticket
for them, what the hell was that called, pointcast or something, before
video on the web took off, there was some system that used "reflectors".

Their cams were usually on the top of the list for compatable hardware.
