Keyboard Struggles

November 1, 2002 08:01 PM


What do you do when your cordless keyboard starts "behaving" badly and starts typing like life of its own? Oh, Don't take that for a ghost. It could be your neighbour's cordless keyboard! Like this Norwegian guy found out to his utter surprise! Sachin, now should I buy a cordless keyboard? We are about 30 meters apart!

Ok ok, so it goes like this - Cordless hard disks with cordless keyboards, cordless mice and cordless monitors. And If your neighbour is a rich dumb fella, who likes visiting porn sites, you can suggest him this. And then, have fun!

Sachin, the HP keyboards which the guys were using did not have a secure channel for communicating with the RF receiver. That's what the cry is all about.
