RE: 4 port USB KVM switch for £50

[Nic Blinston <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Seems bizarre to me that they should offer a "True cross-platform 
design" to control 'USB computers' and then expect someone with 
multiple USB machines (each with its USB keyboard, and USB mouse...) 
to go out and get a PS/2 keyboard to be able to use it properly! (The 
manual says you can use a USB keyboard, but you can't use the 
on-screen display or hot-key switching... DOH!!)

<OT=slight>

On the subject on on-screen displays, does anyone else lament the 
passing of LCD-remote controls for VCRs? Without one, just how are 
you supposed to programme that last-minute recording before you nip 
out, when SWMBO is watching the TV?

(OK, I know I should have a second screen connected to the VCR output 
for just such eventualities, but even my old Sony SL-8000 Betamax 
would let me set the timer without interfering with the TV!)
