&lt;p&gt;These flash drives really gained momentum quickly.  I put important files on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kqzyfj.com/bi103y1A719PSRYSSXTPRQTYXXRZ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buy.com%2Fretail%2FProduct.asp%3Fsku%3D202516523%26SearchEngine%3DCJaffiliate%26Type%3DCJ%26Keyword%3D202516523%26Category%3DComp&amp;cjsku=202516523&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Just put into your USB port and your computer reads it as a drive letter to copy files to or from.  Works very well with both pc and mac and I use to to transfer files across the room without the nightmare of networking (I have a mac and pc in my office).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A quality &amp;quot;all-in-one&amp;quot;  (printer, copier, scanner, fax) machine is all you really need.  Although my 2510 model isn&#039;t on the market anymore (nothing wrong with it, it&#039;s just what these people do....stop models from being produced to give them cooler sounding names and slight improvements &lt;img src=&quot;http://groovyornot.com/templates/default/img/emoticons/smile.png&quot; alt=&quot;:-)&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;&quot; class=&quot;emoticon&quot; /&gt;  I did find what appears to be its upgrade, called the &lt;a href=&quot;http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=ipbWX6r9uRY&amp;offerid=101744.4118190&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One Printer Scanner Copier&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=ipbWX6r9uRY&amp;bids=101744&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0&quot; /&gt;.  Notice, however that the fax has been removed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s probably safe to assume that there&#039;s no need for a fax now that people are learning how to scan, email, and print documents.  I haven&#039;t used a fax in ages and it&#039;s usually only done now with companies who are still newbies to the ways of technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve been happy with my all-in-one HP and have never had a second of trouble with it.  Neither should you, since this is the area in which they excel.  Yes, they&#039;ve hit the computer market....but, like an eager 2nd grade boy, they cut in line.  They merged with real computer companies (my first pc was a packard-bell) and then slapped their brand-name recognition on the emerging models and then learned from them.  Not to take away from their brilliance, of course, as they truly do printers right (not to mention I use a tricked out HP desktop in my home office &lt;img src=&quot;http://groovyornot.com/templates/default/img/emoticons/smile.png&quot; alt=&quot;:-)&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;&quot; class=&quot;emoticon&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I digress.  Get a quality (I repeat...quality) all-in-one to save space and get all your crap done effectively and efficiently.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never seem to be completely happy with my mouse or keyboard and keep thinking that the next generation will be the fix.  I&#039;m still working on the mouse (I&#039;m testing the laser ones right now) but did stumble on a new keyboard that just came out called the &lt;a href=&quot;http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=PT0O8IFsz04&amp;offerid=101744.4069431&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0&quot;&gt;Logitech G15 Keyboard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=PT0O8IFsz04&amp;bids=101744&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0&quot; /&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The thing I love the most and what has really sold me is that every key letter/number/symbol lights up with a groovy blue light (powered by the USB cable), so when it&#039;s dim or dark in my area I can see the keyboard, yet the lighted letter remain unobtrusive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please note:  the video does NOT do this thing justice at all.  I tried three times to capture its beauty and after the video compression, et al, this is what I came up with.  The letters are a beautiful, sci-fi, blue (just bright enough while not too bright).  What I didn&#039;t capture on the last video attempt was the extra length of the keyboard due to all the macro buttons (a gamer&#039;s delight, i promise!).  I also didn&#039;t show the groovy pop-up display, since I don&#039;t use it and it doesn&#039;t merge well with my current setup (my issue, not the keyboard&#039;s).  Take a look at the pics in the link below to see the daylight versions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
