Surfing from the sofa


Given the fact that most current wide screen TV’s in the UK have a VGA input – you might be tempted to plug your PC into it and have a great monitor some of the time. The next problem you might face is – how do I control it ?

So in my case I have a Shuttle very small form factor PC running Vista Ultimate and wanted to see if I could get a decent remote keyboard. So I looked for a combined keyboard / trackball – mouse unit to do the necessary.

I found the BTC unit to be quite robust and reliable in operation and quite easy to get used to..
