Alright, I've been following this group for a while now, and still I'm puzzled
by this. Just what is this "magic cookie" several of you speak of?
One thing I've found in my ongoing investigation... I like WYSE keyboards a
heck of a lot better than TVI's. The WYSE's seem better made, more evenly
spaced (the TVI's seem all crunched together, if that makes any sense), and
the WYSE's LOOK better.
But the Televideo 965 looks like the one I'll get, IF I can find someone on the
net to ask a few remaining questions of. I still haven't gotten a reply.
[hint]
[TVI-965 users write to me] This is [TVI-965 users write to me] not a
[TVI-965 users write to me] subliminal message [TVI-965 users write to me].
