track of through e-mails.

Usage notes: Mouse is really cool... it's gyroscopic, so you
can use it in mid-air, or use it as a regular optical mouse on any surface.
Keyboard is a very nice size for laptop use & very lightweight.

Software tested with: no special software needed; it's just like a
regular USB mouse & keyboard (although the 'special buttons' (email,
browser, etc) only work under Windows

RMA'd it & I am currently waiting for the unit to be returned.

doesn't die
