An LCD monitor with keyboard and mouse capabilities on it, thinnest
possible, to hang on rack-door can be a boon for expensive spaces of
datawarehouses.
Has anyone come across one?
Maybe someone would go into manufacturing it.

Bad idea if you ask me. Keyboards and mice wear out. I just had to
replace my MS Intelimouse Explorer because the left-click button became
intermittent and keys go bad on keyboards as well. I hate to have to
replace the whole shebang just because a mouse button went bad.

Just a thought.
Laptop does work but if something cheaper and taking up even less
space will be desirable.

ZERO problems with three different Intellimouse Explorers. Probably an
operator error on your part George.

Now how the hell could there be an "operator error" with a mouse?
Besides both of my Intellimouse Explorers have died; the one for my

them both in early 2000. They were almost 5 years old.

They died because you applied to much pressure on the left button with
your foot. Most people use their hand to operate a mouse. You on the
other hand obviously never learned proper procedure. No surprise there.

George, isn't it immediately apparent how this could be operator error?
As a Mac user, you're not a true believer in the cult of the
right-click. Notice that your left click button failed. Obviously you've
not caught on to the simplicity and elegance of right-clicking
everything, waiting, then selecting from the context menu. I've often
wondered why Microsoft even includes the left-mouse button anymore, it
doesn't seem to serve any particularly useful purpose, as everything can
be done through the context menus.
Clearly Microsoft has abandoned the use of the left-click and is subtly
encouraging their users to do the same....
You'll remember this day as the day when Microsoft Innovated The Right
Button Only Mouse. Any similarities to any other company's one button
mouse are strictly denied, as this is clearly different. ;)

Yeah, I forgot about that. While I do use right click on my Macs (OSX
supports it quite nicely), I don't use it nearly as much as I do
left-click.

Have you tried Command and Option clicking? They are generally
consistent across applications as well. Just another nice touch in OSX.

Obviously this technique is not perfect because I am relying on the tick event. Also, I've discovered that Windows.Forms.Control.MouseButtons...

Hi...
I want to write a program that will let me know after thirty minutes of
typing that I need to take a five minute typing break. But when I stop
typing it's smart enough to pause the 30 minute timer automatically.
This is under the X-Window System (Linux).
The tricky part is obviously knowing when the mouse and keyboard are
being used....especially when my application doesn't have the focus.

I have been searching for a keyboard and mouse tracker on linux. I've

My goal are:
1. Check keyboard activity. I'm not interested in logging which keys
