Howdy Paul!

Oh, our support is better than that.  It's a BUG if they don't work out of

Nifty to know...

Yeah, it doesn't seem to open a browser, unless I've never tried it with a
browser not open.  (meaning it's not opening a new window ala: -new)

In the case of the volume keys, they are working aswell and send the correct

Paul,

Only thing is, this is a desktop, not a laptop. :)  I have recently bought a
Microsoft keyboard:

>From the back of the keyboard
Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard: 1.0A
Model: 1027

>From the box it came in
Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000
* High Definition Laser technology
* Magnifier
* 5 Customizable Mouse buttons
* Comfort Curve Keyboard Design (it is comfy! :)


Is there anything else I should do?  Also, it'd be neat to be able to
program these buttons for things, that is for sure.  Not sure I need the
zoom to magnify, but what would be cool is to have the zoom thing work as a
scroll button allowing you to scroll up and down in a browser or any window.

Thanks in advance!
