Wow, you can actually get the Linux software for that piece of junk? I
have to look again I suppose.

Ha! I never had keyboard problems...what I had was endless stability
problems. Windows XP don't like Ncomputing software and Microsoft's
updates break Ncomputing software from time to time.

I believe Ncomputing's stuff is the only thing I have ever seen of this
genre. Really neat. If only they offered proper Linux support. I guess I
have to check out their website again. I have loads of L130/230 terminals.
Now if Promethean releases Activstudio on Linux next month as they have
said, I will be plenty happy.
