Using the AlphaSmart as a USB keyboard

05 Aug 2008 6 598
Ah, those grateful eyes, when the AlphaSmart veteran masterfully detects the Y-key on his Neo/US... Is it just my male chauvinism, or do they really say: "You're so CLEVER!"? Imagine someone has lived in Germany for a long, long time. No wonder a German keyboard is attached to his trusty iMac, but that doesn't matter to him as he's got used to it. Then, all of a sudden, an American guest appears. She'd like to use his computer to check and answer her e-mails, and that's fine with him (however severe, he's not inhuman). She starts typing, but something seems to be wrong, and she can't Z Y... Thank God, there's an American AlphaSmart Neo in the house, with all the characters in place. It easily connects to the Mac via a USB cable. This did the trick, and surely made her day... ( Picture taken for the AlphaSmart Group on Flickr )
