Hi: This may sound very silly to most of you, but I don't really understand wireless. Is it possible to install a wireless keyboard and mouse on any computer? And, if so, how exactly do you go about this? Thanks so much for all your help.

Both items consist of a small transmitter and receiver. W95 might be tricky but you should be OK with W98SE as long as it is mentioned in the spec for each one and you have any USB's that are required.
If so you just load the software and plug up according to the instructions. Should be pretty easy. My wireless mouse is fine, yet to try wireless keyboard.

It worked out just great Derek. AND it was even easier than you made it sound. I got a Logitech keyboard and mouse, for anyone who's interested, and the computer detected them immediately. No need for the CD installation or anything! And they're working beautifully. Just super!!
