Well, I have been keeping my eye out for one of those gateway
programmable keyboards with all the extra arrow keys for a few years,
almost had one on ebay, but forgot about it until 2 minutes too late.  I
would love one of the MS Intellimouse Scroll optical mice that Bill was
talking about a few weeks ago.  I have my Laserjet 4+ which is
sufficient for all my B+W needs, and I haven't yet discovered a color
printer that is anywhere near affordable that will hook to my network
and do color postscript.  I'd like a good 56K USR Courier modem.  

Oh, and I love my Mr. Rogers mousepads.
