It's been a little over a week, and I'd thought I'd check back in to let people know how I've been faring with the new Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard & Ergomomic Mouse (both wired). My initial feelings about the devices haven't changed. The Ergonomic Mouse is just about perfect, and the keyboard...

Sorry about getting back to you so late, Rich, I was away from my office this past weekend. Regarding slope, it has one, but its a bit more gentle than most, with the left side of the mouse being higher than the right. Also, it has a thumb rest, which means that you'll move all your finger...

The friendly UPS truck just delivered the new Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard & Ergomomic Mouse to my office this afternoon, and I thought I would leave my first impressions here. These are WIRED wired devices, and some might wonder why I didn't spring for wireless. Using a bluetooth...

I have a SP4 M3 model with Alcantera keyboard, and I want to know how well that keyboard would fit on a SP6. Would it be an exact match? Would it work at all? Thanks for your help in advance...

It wasn't bad enough that Groove Music won't let me download music I purchased a couple of years ago (goodbye, John Coltrane and a other artists) but, today, I found out that if I want to download the excellent soundtrack to the equally excellent Cuphead game, I need to purchase the game first...

I'm most disturbed at Microsoft because I bought a number of albums a few years ago that I cannot download any more. I thought if I bought the albums through the MS Store, they would always be there for me. Apparently, when a record label rescinds the rights to their catalog, it means I can no...

Desktops, especially those you build yourself, are more environmentally friendly than laptops or all-in-ones. Buy a good case, and a desktop could get you 8 years or more of usage; you could update the motherboard or graphics card separately at about the halfway point of its life, if games are...

I've not seen anyone complain about this, and internet research turned up nothing... I have a Surface Pro 4 with m3 processor. When I go into Tablet Mode and start Edge, the program works normal...for awhile. After a bit, the Close Window 'X' appears (and occasionally disappears to...

I didn't see MLB At Bat in the store, I wound up having to download a version from My Library. Does anyone know if MLB is dropping Windows Phone support (W10M) this season, or will it be updated just before the season starts?

Outlook for Windows 10 Mobile is a hot mess. It has real problems handling HTML mail of a certain size. This is amazing, considering how well Windows Phone 8.1 Mail handled similar messages. This has led me to look for an alternative. I found Mail in the Store from Mail.Ru, but I'm a bit...

Re: Is there something unique left in windows phone ? Have you tried an iPhone/iPad? They trade ease of use for forced decisions on usage. You can't get rid of the calendar, appointments app, and scads of other apps, which are simply bloatware if you don't want to use them. Worse, you can't...

How do you a) set up the option to get up & move, and b) how do you set the default music player?

If you think paying $600 for a phone with a 3 star review is good, then, I'll defer. But, most phones they review are 4 stars...

Actually, the bad reviews of the Lumia 950 are really starting to mount up. To those mentioned above, I add the Wall St Journal and PC Magazine. MS really needed to make sure the OS was ready before they shipped it; reviewers are not only knocking the lack of apps, but also the software for...

I think Microsoft missed an opportunity here to make Surface 1 & 2, and Nokia 2520 users happy. All they really needed to do is port Windows 10 Mobile to these devices. Since they all use the same ARM chips as the phones, I can't imagine it would be too difficult. I would have paid for the...
