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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I think the electronics marketing people are trying to confuse us into buying really expensive TV's.

Well, my Sony Wega tube TV is color and has a remote but it can't decode digital TV signals.
It can display HD, though, so long as it is presented on the composite inputs.
