[access-uk] Re: A Recent Wireless Keyboard Review

I've just been out to the garden and the signal between the keyboard and the 
sender/receiver fizzled out after about 20 metres and through one external 
wall, a sideboard and a sofa. However, my sender/receiver is stuck to the 
skirting board in my house., so I have no reason to doubt the other list 
membber's account of the signal travelling approximately 30 metres in his 
garden.
