The $5 IR Keyboard: Targus

If you happen to still have a PDA and you’re looking for a cheap IR keyboard, look no further than BG Micro. BG Micro has slashed $55 off the former retail price of the discontinued Targus Universal Wireless Keyboard (PA870U). For a Lincoln (that’s $5 not 1¢), you can quickly start jotting notes on that antiquated Palm OS or Pocket PC handheld with nary a stylus in sight. Just grab the drivers from the Targus archived support section and you’re in business. That is, if your business still runs on a PDA.

This is exactly what I'm looking for... maybe. Will this work with a Zire 72? The Zire 72 is a Bluetooth enabled Palm, but I have no clue as to whether it can handle IR like the older models did.

Is there a computer adapter available that will allow you to use this with a modern Windows Vista laptop?

Where can I get the blocks?

I agree, this is a evden eve nakliyat very cool experiment. As to how long evden eve the acrylic can hold the image, permanently. If you mean nakliyat how long the lightening flashes, I would imagine until the block is grounded, the flashes would persist.

I would imagine evden eve nakliyat that on could generate a fair amount su deposu of income selling these su deposu Lichtenberg figures.

there are many nakliyat lichtenberg figures estetik on the ice near my ankara nakliyat home and they are not drain holes. They are merely the first places that the sun melts the ice,
evden eve usually caused by something evden eve nakliyat dark at the center which heats up and starts the melting. I have 40mg of pix if pop sci is interested.
Cool and beautiful!
How long could the bock trap the lighting ?
