Here's my new setup... My new project is to "rip" all my existing LPs and cassettes (the ones that play) to disk, clean them up, and burn CDs. I've dragged a computer in and hooked it into my sound system and TV. Obviously, it's not very functional. The mouse is USB but the keyboard is a standard PS/2 type. I've got a USB hub that I can put on the table, and connect in the mouse, but I don't have a USB keyboard. I do have a little USB-PS/2 adapter thingy, but it doesn't seem to work. I'd like to have the mouse and the keyboard on the table in front of the couch.

So I'm looking for suggestions. Should I buy a USB keyboard? Is something wrong with my USB-PS/2 adapter and I should be able to make that work? Is there some kind of wireless or IR solution that wouldn't require a cord (or two) to run across the floor? The wireless mice and keyboards I've used in the past don't seem to work too well beyond about 2 feet - have they improved recently? Any suggestions are welcome.
