You do know that they have been out for a fairly long time now. i remember reading about those over half a year ago. you think that is bad wait until you see what microsoft has planned for those keyboards.

I think it is going to fit in quite well with Longhorn.

I think I've read that fingerprint thingie has been used for some time now. This is the first time I see it is used on keyboards.

yeah they have had biometric things like this for ages. the first place i remember seeing it was on a laptop a long time ago.

These things have been around for ages as portable USB devices. Personally I've always used Logitech Keyboards and mice so the portable version is not only more user friendly as you can use it on multiple machines, but also costs a fraction of the price!

Yeah Lennon, you should know about these, Mr Horth was going on about them for a while.
