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.
