For the past few minutes, I've happily translated messages about the wireless keyboard and mouse working or not working properly - nothing taxing - when I spotted a rather different wireless device, one that I personally had never come across. While trying to imagine what it might look like in real life, I hooted so madly with laughter that my partner came running into the room thinking I had finally lost the plot. So what was this mysterious device? See for yourselves...

Here's another product from the same company May 27, 2006

Hi Rebekka,

if you experience a moose failure, send a complaint via this protocol:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1149.html

Have a nice working weekend,
Ricki
