Let's see I have everything in the dishwasher, plates, glasses and my computer keyboard!

What is the whole family uses one keyboard & mouse and member has a bad cold?

Families routinely pass infectious diseases when kids come home with a cold or Dad has the flu. At home, they handle the computer keyboard and mouse and open the possibility of spreading germs through these surfaces. Seal Shield Keyboards are not only antimicrobial; you can put them into a dishwasher and let them get a real cleaning.  I tried of two of the Seal Shield keyboards – one wireless with a wireless laser mouse & one portable enough to roll up and pack in a suitcase or backpack. The soft Glow Keyboard is backlit for easy viewing. (I found typing on the rubberized keys takes a bit of getting used to, but the back- lighting is great in dimly lit areas.) The UV reinforced keys resist fading. Like any regular keyboard, it’s just Plug n’ Play. It has a regular USB connection, and comes with a PS/2 adapter. Actually this keyboard comes with a gold USB connector. When you put it in the dishwasher, the only thing you have to do is use the attached rubber Seal Cap to protect the USB connector. The wireless keyboard and mouse can just go into the dishwasher the way they are. (The wireless keyboard & mouse have battery compartments that have rubber gasgets to protect them during a run in the dishwasher.) I used both keyboards, and then ran them both through a complete cycle in my dishwasher. They came out soaking wet and I thought, “are these really going to still work?” I dried them off a bit and yes --- they both worked fine! Prices on the company’s website are full retail. If you do a web search you can find them for less.

Netbooks, Notebooks, Stuff We All Need.

There are netbooks, notebooks, tiny MP3 players with built-in mics so you can record lectures in class. There are even electronics for kids too young to go to the school. I showed a "PDA" from Leap Frog designed for kids as young as 3 years old! It not only teaches them, but it makes it less likely they'll play with the real PDA the folks own!

Listed below are all the gizmos and gadgets I showed on World News Now, along with a link for more info. The San Disk Clip+ is brand new and may be hard to find for the next week or so. If you can contact me via the form at the lower left.  

Here's the spot as it aired on ABC News:
