[revil]

ya, it's pissing me 0ff t00. i have t0 write a paper and this isn't helping at all.

You can probably map the 'o' to some key that you don't use very often, like ` or [. There are key-mapper utilities that let you create your own keyboard setup (mostly to screw with people, but could be useful in this case). Check download.com or one of those shareware places.

I hear the Onkyo HT484 is pretty good for the money. It does seem to be discontinued or something.

The Kenwood HTB-503 got some good reviews...

Just make sure that your speakers aren't too close to your monitor, or else you will be degausing like a madman. The center channel should be magnetically shielded, though.

Kenwood also has the new HTB553 system too. Be sure to check that out. http://www.800.com/prod.asp?p=4360

Whats the big deal here? Keyboards are cheap. Just go to a computer store and buy one. :confused:

[revil]

I did. This one works much better.
