Thanks everyone!
Sparky- is it possible to add a wireless card to these things or would he have to string 80 feet ot ethernet cable from the kitchen to the pc? Other than networking the machines, can you suggest a way to synch it with his outlook? I want to look like I know what I'm doing when I set it up
Digifan, thank you for going to the trouble of digging up those links for me!
Tickler- ThinkGeek is one of my favourite web destinations. You might try iWoot.com too.
Terry- thanks for the good wishes
Any more?
