I miss mine, it got messed up in a move and I didn't want to spend the time dealing with it, especially since it was one of the ones with the huge DIN connectors that the ps/2 plugs replaced. I was tired of messing with the adapters and just replaced it with a newer keyboard.

I bet that would still look interesting, maybe you should try it anyway. :)

That's the first thing I thought, too, but then I decided it probably won't work very well because of the resolution unless you have a small screen.

Should work, the article mentions flash drives. Just stick to ext2 for formatting, ext3's journalling will murder its lifespan. (this is true of any flash drive)

I second this, my error rate increased when I finally gave up my old mechanical keyboard for a newer Logitech one. It's not bad, but something about the feel and the sensitivity (which seems uneven, some keys need more pressure) makes me more prone to mistakes now.

That's the default DD-WRT theme for Buffalo routers, so it's on all of them at install time. It may be possible to acquire it and use it for others, I don't know.

In Linux, certainly; in Windows, probably. Well, not a separate program, but you could rig it with a script or batch file if you have a command-line tool to take screenshots.

That's Nodoka - Midnight, one of the only decent dark Gtk themes in my opinion. Works well with apps like Gimp and Inkscape that tend to look strange in dark themes. It's also a really close match to a similar KDE colour scheme and is faster than the Qt lookalike stuff, so it helps blend things together if you mix

The spiral one (in the article, not your link) reminds me of an old cover for one of Asimov's Foundation books.

@nerve11: I'd rather have 16:10 than 16:9 if it's going to be widescreen; it's a better size for viewing two pages side by side in my opinion.

@JerryA: I thought of that one too, but the eee-note covers the parts that are more important to me so I listed it.

@relyk5: The eee-note, if you're talking about that, is 8" and already out in Taiwan as someone noted. I think it hits Europe this month but it's going to be a lot more expensive there for some reason.

@napkindoodle: It doesn't meet the touch requirement, but you might be interested in the eee-note for sketching. It's not out in the US yet, but you can see it at [www.asus.com] or search youtube for videos. There are some vids of people sketching on it and it looks nice for it.

My tablet ideal is something like the ASUS Eee Note. It has a Wacom digitizer, so it uses a stylus (pressure sensitive, supports eraser and buttons) and can be connected to the PC and used as graphics tablet.

I must tend to have obscure tech problems, because this wouldn't help me very much. Sticking to ones with "solved" in there would limit my results and return few (if any) results for most of my troubleshooting searches.

@MattyMattMatt: Going in reverse order for no particular reason:

@GetOutOfBox: As long as their largest size is sufficiently large, that's close enough to be usable, I guess. KDE does that with some icons too, though the default icon theme has a ton of SVG ones as well, which is useful in tandem with the file manager's zooming feature.

@TendoMentis: Of course, that means your display is 68DPI, which is the polar opposite of the question posed. The wording is flawed, but the question specifically refers to displays with high pixel density by citing the MacBook Air, which has a 130-140 DPI display depending on the model.

@JimJam707: Two 22" 1680x1050 displays here. I would have preferred 1920x1200 but at the time I couldn't find any at a decent price. Now, I'm holding out for even higher. :)

Since it's on topic, this is a good time to complain about how monitor DPI sucks. You're lucky to find a monitor that's over 100 DPI, especially if you want something 20" diagonal or higher.
