Illuminated Keyboards....

If this one seems a little on the expensive side, or has a few more features than you really need, then try this one......

It's less than half the price, has three choices of colors for the backlit keys, which are manually switched by that button in the upper right above the number pad, and the lettering on the keys is large, for easier viewing. It's made by Azio (www.aziocorp.com) and the model number is KB505U. I'm using it to write this, and it works like a charm. You should get one. You can turn down the room lights, eliminate the extraneous glare on the monitor, and really enjoy what you're doing on your computer.

Another useful tip: Throw out that 22-inch computer monitor, and go get yourself a 30 or 32-inch flat screen TV with VGA and Audio Input connections on the back, and you can have the best of both worlds. Use the Input button on the TV's remote to select between "TV" and "VGA" for viewing either the TV or computer input. Works for me. No more squinting at the fine print, and the TV News or your favorite show is right there with the press of a button. What could be more convenient?
