Artist Palette with Small Keyboard

This is a little BENQ keyboard. Very nifty.
I use a Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet pc. It has three USB ports built in. But for my purposes, that's not enough. I have an external harddrive that plugs into one. A mouse in another. And a keyboard in another. That leaves no room for a memory stick. So I have a very basic four-port extender.

This is an artist's palette made from plywood. It's a useful size, cos it fits nicely in the same bag as everything else, and it's big enough for me to pop a small portable keyboard on, along with a small mouse.

One of the other photos shows how I use it in conjunction with the table easel.

Ah! Thanks Dave!!! That's one damn cool li'l keyboard. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. My current setup weighs a ton. Mostly due to two things...

1. The Tecra M4 is a very heavy machine. Probably cos it's got a huge screen.

2. And the extension cables I carry -- power adaptors AND the 15m VGA cable -- are heavy heavy heavy.

I reckon that there must be a little unit I can buy somewhere that will allow me to do some kind of wireless broadcast of my screen to a video projector.

I know that the latest vid projectors have built-in wifi. Apparently they don't cope well with video signals. But they're totally cool with normal stuff happening on a computer screen.

Do you know of any such devices? (I'm thinking that it would be something that plugs into the VGA socket on my computer, with a little transmitter on it. And something that plugs into the VGA socket on the projector, that receives the radio signal.)
