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.

But my understanding is that you don't have to have an HD TV, just be able able to receive a digital signal

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.

I'm in Sophia's camp.

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.

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.

It's annoying that that doesn't work in the preview pane.

What about digital TV if you only have rabbit ears for reception? I have a color TV with a remote.

From the FCC

If you receive only free over-the-air television programming, the type of TV you own, either a digital TV or an analog TV, is very important. Consumers who receive only free over-the-air television may view digital programming through a TV set with a built-in digital tuner (integrated DTV) or a digital-ready monitor with a separate digital tuner set-top box. (Both of these digital television types are referred to as a DTV). The only additional equipment required to view over-the-air digital programming with a DTV is a regular antenna, either on your roof or a smaller version on your TV such as “rabbit ears.”

If you have an analog television, you will have to purchase a digital-to-analog set-top converter box to attach to your TV set to be able to view over-the-air digital programming (see “What About My Analog TV?” below).

I should point out that my pre-coffee reponse up there left out the fact that we have a digital converter box, and have for a few years. I tend to forget the thing isn't part of the actual TV.
