It first started with getting the new laptop. The old laptop (Emachines) had such an old battery that it had to stay plugged in no matter what, so I got used to leaving it on a desk and always having it plugged in. The new one (Toshiba) of course has a new battery, therefore actually being mobile. So I'd have it on my lap while sitting on the couch, being plugged into the broadband modem, the mouse, the speakers on the shelf, etc.
Getting up to do something besides browsing the interweb became a federal project of not getting tangled, thus the crusade began. I bought a cheapie Netgear wireless router from Staples; since the apartments small I don't need too much of a range. For Christmas I ended up getting a wireless mouse and keyboard made by Smartlogic and runs about $25 at of all places BJ's Wholesale.
So that solved most of the wires situation. The only one left was really the external speakers setup, and since I don't use them too often (only for music while cleaning and such) I just dealt with the wire. Till it broke, however. I always have to move the bass box out in order to reach from it to my laptop stand, which is a pain in of itself, and I guess I pulled the wire a little too hard, so now the copper wires are showing and frayed. Awesome.
Answer? this. My friend Chris mentioned it to me, and got my impulse buying gear in action, and on the credit card it went. Here's an awesome picture of it:
So yes, a wireless bluetooth adapter thing for my computer to my speakers, awesome. It will be here on Thursday so expect a full review.
