Windows and Mac only, needs drivers. Plus a USB slot on each computer for the receiver.

I bet it requires some sort of custom software not available for Linux...
That's what I expected. But if it's genius then I'm sure someone will write Linux drivers for it soon enough - or maybe produce some other implementation that gives equivalent results. We already have iSCSI and ATAoE, could iMouse be the next thing? http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Generic/Generic-GDI_Printer Remember how they had those "Win Printers" and Windows users laughed that there wasn't a Linux driver? Then a new version of Windows broke compatibility with those printers and some of them ended up only working on Linux and other FOSS systems. Remember that free barcode scanner that was sent out to millions of Americans? I can't remember the name and Google doesn't help (I think it had "quick" in the name). That one lost support when the manufacturer went bankrupt and someone wrote Linux drivers. Keith, before April 1 next year I challenge you to write a Linux driver for the weirdest piece of Windows-specific kit you can find - and get it in the kernel without anyone realising that you are joking. ;) -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
