Thanks Dave, that looks great.
My only hesitation is it using RF technology. I maybe speaking from 
ignorance, but I feel safer with IR technology. I've avoided wireless 
networking around the house and hard wired everything to avoid having 
unnecessary amounts of radio/micro waves all over the place. No one 
seems to know much about possible health risks yet and I don't trust 
research funded by the companies that produce the stuff.

Maybe I'm just been paranoid. I'm sure a wireless keyboard would produce 
much less poison into the air waves than something like a mobile phone. 
At the same time, I don't let my kids use mobile phones. They will be 
using this keyboard.
