Was a nice few years for Detroit there... : ) Phoenix is going after Lindsay Hunter as a possible backup to Nash as well. Not a key piece but snoyhrt dmsll blow to Detroit if that happens.

On the other hand...holy crap, Chicago is fast improving. Great draft and now Ben Wallace. As long as Chicago has someone to fill in for him the last five minutes of the game during hack-a-Wallace time, Chicago is going to be much more interesting to watch this year.

Logitech G15 4tl? hehe. If I were at home I might have been able to tell that. I tend to look at the keyboard when I see typos like that since they almost always tend to come from people on a G15 keyboard. Those extra macro keys on the left tend to screw with hand placement.

Try typing up an entire email with both hands shifted... on purpose. :D

What does this even mean? What are you basing that on? I type all the time on my G15 without error, so I'm kind of at a loss as to what you're talking about.

ask Winnow, he knows! We talked about it in Second Life once. I noticed in games that when most people type with their hands shifted, they were using a G15. I was guilty of it as well. It took me a little time to get used to having those keys to my left.

I guess since I never use the Macro keys for anything (mostly because lets face it they're nowhere convenient for use) they don't affect me at all. Mostly what I use and like about the keyboard are the backlit keys and the audio/Itunes controls.

Yeah, I stopped using the macro keys during gameplay as well. The LCD and media controls are still nice though.

I use all sorts of macro keys in SL. It depends on what game you're playing I guess.

The LCD screen works great with Mediamonkey, WinAmp, or WMP. Being able to see what song is playing and change them is handy.

I also use the Windows Key lock a lot.

I'd like to go back to an ergo keyboard design so I hope Logitech gives that option next time.

It's a first generation product and they did a good job but as with most 1st gen stuff, there's lots they can improve so lets hope they do. It should only be a month or two now before the next wave.

Yes, sad day for the Red Wings (in a way). Going to miss seeing him play, but at least he is still going to be involved witht he Wings.

As far as Ben Wallace goes... /shrug. It's expected that all of them will merc it their whole career.

I'll miss Ben Wallace and the heart and intensity that he brought to the team, but I can't say right now that this isn't a blessing in disguise. He's like 32 or 33 and the style of play that you need him to practice is quite abusive on his body. His age coupled with being an offensive liability at times made me wary of signing him to a 4- or 5-year deal.
