Sorry to disappoint, you don't need more hardware.  But Valentine's day 
is coming up, so spend some on the wife.  :-)

Seriously, what I do is to modify the menu itself to run my favorite app 
- tuxracer for the kids, icedove for email, firefox for browser, gthumb 
for picture viewer, etc.

You do need a decent wireless keyboard.  I've had good luck with the 
Logitech keyboards; they reach across a room.

You may also have to do a bit of configuring on the app to get the font 
size right.

HTH,
