I took a look at the FLIRC on their web site.  It looked interesting to 
me, but I have a question that I could not find any information about.

The FLIRC looks to the computer like a USB keyboard.  That part I get.  
Will it work if you already have a USB keyboard/mouse connected to the 
same computer?  Can linux work with two USB keyboards?  Or does it just 
pick one (at random?) and that's it? Obviously, one would only press 
keys on one of the "keyboards" at a time.
