It's a pity that Apple didn't decide to have wireless keyboard and mouse
for the new iMAC. I've just updated to a nice Logitech wireless solution
and as soon as I move all the computers off the desk into the new rack
I might banish all wires (with the exception of the monitor) leaving more
space for the "computer of the day" (The PX-8 and the DECmate-III are
fighting to be the next in line).
