GADGET UPDATE: The Cybernet PC-in-a-Keyboard . . . Want to dazzle your friends with your extreme geekiness? Try this--
It's the Cybernet Zero-Footprint-PC, a standard computer keyboard with the rest of the computer stuffed inside it. Why? I don't know, but it's got an Intel Pentium 4 processor, a hard drive of whatever size you'd like, and (of course) a Full Size Enhanced Windows keyboard. Just add a monitor and you too can be a lawyer with a shiny new gadget. For as low as $570.
Hopefully it reacts to spilled drinks better than my $5 keyboard does.

Good point. I wonder if it includes a port for an external keyboard.... ;-)
If you are doing a lot of presentations, where you plug your computer into a monitor or projector without any real need for a built-in screen, that unit may suit your needs quite well. (For presentations backed up by PowerPoint, though, it is nice to be able to see the display on your notebook computer so you don't have to keep "shoulder-checking" to see what is on the screen.)

Awww come on, forget the kebyboard! I strolled on this website hoping to read something about this (copied from the Record). Even you have to admit that this guy is the biggest loser ever?! Is he still trying to sue everyone who called him names? Whatever happened with that?
"5th Appellate Court Judge Gordon Maag not only lost his bid for Illinois Supreme Court on Tuesday, he lost retention to the appeals bench.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting in the 37 counties of the 5th Judicial District, Maag only received 55 percent "yes" votes. He needed 60 percent to keep his position.
Vote totals are:
Yes: 281,103
No: 227,762
He is the first appellate judge in Illinois to lose retention since voters were given the authority to make the call in 1964. His term expires Dec. 6.
The Illinois Supreme Court will appoint Maag's successor to serve until the General Election 2006.

Whoops, sorry I posted this to wrong comment earlier. Anyway, good question from the $5 keyboard person, right?

It's pretty slick, Evan. But if you want really slick technology, check out what I vow to do in the last line of this Daily Kos post:
