Just what is this "magic cookie" several of you speak of? One thing I've found in my ongoing investigation... I like WYSE keyboards a heck of a lot better than TVI's. The WYSE's seem better made, more evenly spaced (the TVI's seem all crunched together, if that makes any sense), and the WYSE's LOOK better. But the Televideo 965 looks like the one I'll get, IF I can find someone on the net to ask a few remaining questions of. I still haven't gotten a reply.
