[Elfriede Ashcroft]

Hi all,

A few years ago, I typed on a projected keyboard. The projector was a cube-shaped object about the size of a rubrics cube which projected a keyboard onto the table top.
The size of the keyboard was adjustable. I typed by hitting the projected keys, simply tapping on the table top.
The projector must have tracked my finger movements, because the transfer from typed key to screen was 100 percent accurate.
I found it fascinating and not weird at all, other people found is more difficult to adjust too.

These types of keyboards seemed to be still on the market, but are geared to smartphones and tablets.
Maybe this technology can be adjusted somehow to work with PCs?

re the cleaning: Wipe the table top!!

For those of you using computers on wheels what washable key boards and mice are you successfully using? or are you using covers and if so do they work? When I raised the possibility of using covers here feedback was that these would be flipped off and not used.
