I know a few companies make wireless hookups for monitors, keyboards, mouse,
and USB drives. So I am sure you could put the computers up to maybe 50
feet away from you and have your keyboard, mouse, monitors, USB CD drive,
USB printer, USB hard drive right beside you. And you can now get USB
keyboards and mouse. Also with the new USB 2.0 data can move up to 480MB.
But, it will take a few months before USB 2.0 has wireless hookups. You
now can only get USB 1.1 wireless, I think?
