    String Pots

    Celesco has recently come out with "low-cost" string pots. They do sell direct and take credit cards.

    Optimus Keyboard

    It looks like the keyboard design everyone was drooling over may not be out next month. Maybe a smaller version will come first... http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/14/the-optimus-mini-three/ Depending on what it actually does and how much it costs, this could be a cool thing for us HA people, too.

    I just noticed that this show starts Friday and is within driving distance (well, a decent drive, but not terrible). Anyone here have a feel for how this show is? Looks to be pretty big.
