Anyone successful getting Force21 to run?

deckard

In Win9x there was a simple but very useful utility called Net Watcher which showed you who was accessing your shares and what files they were transferring. What equivalent utility is there for Win2k?.

Wireless mouse for gaming

Tom-boy

I want to buy a cordless keyboard and a mouse and would like to get the Logitech's ones, since everybody seems to be quite enthusiastic about it. But how does the mouse behave in a game, especially in fast paced one? I've heard that cordless mice tend to lag behind badly.
