If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Just cut/delete them and save the message.

Missing in action since 2002...

I do have a wireless Logitech mouse for my laptop and it works fine. Anything from any of the major manufacturers should be fine these days. If it were 1999 I'd worry about quality, but not now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It wouldn't let me cut/delete (cut does nothing, delete deletes the message), but now I see that if I open the message in its own window I get a "remove" option in the right-click menu.

Huh. I could swear I've done it that way before, but now I have a nifty new (to me) remove button too!

Our wings are not tired

I have a Microsoft bluetooth mouse that I use when I travel and it's been quite good. I'd have to dig up the model number. I also have one of the new Apple Bluetooth keyboards that I also use for travel. The only bummer on it is the lack of a numeric keypad. Other than that it's a great keyboard. I use the wired version for my regular desktop setup.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The 2009 deadline is for over-the-air broadcasts only, it doesn't apply to cable. And most people with cable are already receiving digital signals anyway.

But my understanding is that you don't have to have an HD TV, just be able able to receive a digital signal (I also have a newish non-HD TV and was planning to just get the box, as I have no cable)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nobody has wireless keyboards and mice?

I have a not so new Apple keyboard and a MightyMouse (I think, I might have the name wrong, it's a couple of years old). I'm happy with them.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Apple bluetooth keyboard, Logitech bluetooth mouse. Both work great with my Mini.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've had several Logitech wireless mice and keyboard/mouse combos, and they've all worked great. I very much like the way they handle power management on wireless optical mice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes - the digital switchover has nothing to do with HD. Like I said above, if you've got a color TV with a remote, the chances that your TV won't be able to receive a digital signal are practically nil.

ita, I missed your question above, but I have a Microsoft wireless mouse/keyboard combo and it works very well. If I were going to replace it, I'd probably decide based more on ergonomics than brand.
