At the time, LaCie seemed to constantly get praised for making the best (or amongst the best) CRT monitors. In more recent times, it looks like they have stopped making CRTs and only make flat panel displays now.

Funnily enough, I didn't know LaCie made things other than displays until after I bought my monitor!

Let me just make an intermediate status:
1) Keybords 90% (How do the remaining 10% work ?)
2) Hard disk 77%
3) Printer 74%
4) Camera 68%
5) Hub 61%
6) Memory stick 58%
7) Scanner <50%
8) Wireless <50%

I think they mean 90 out of 100 ticked the keyboard option, 77 out of 100 ticked the HD option, etc... so the percent is worked out as peripherals to people, not peripherals compared to each other. (Does this make sense???)

You're right... MacBook users do not need to use an external keyboard.

Nor do MacBookPro or any other laptop users...

I am lucky. Just about all my essential hardware and peripherals are colour consistent (i.e. grey).

My periphs:

• A white Apple keyboard, ideal for showing stains.
• A USB mouse with a Swiss flag on it, which I bought in Cork two years ago.
• A printer for recreating holiday snaps (which I have never used).
• An external HD.
• An external DVD RW.
• An A4 printer.
• A scanner.
• A floppy disk drive.
• A remote camera.
• A USB stick.
• USB Headphones.
• An ethernet router (does that count?).

All products are from Walmart, unless otherwise indicated.

I have to admit that confused me too, at first. I thought the other 10% might be running an old Mac as a server in the corner of the room, or something. But, yes, using a laptop instead of a desktop is the simpler answer!
