Wizard of OzThe title of this short snippet, zippity doo dah, has nothing to do with the Wizard of Oz, but it does have something to do with wizardry. The magic comes from a company called Zip-linq and specifiicly, the product is a retractable cable that simplifies plugging things in at home or on the road. (See related story about Power Over Ethernet). Here a few pictures of the cables to help you see what this is all about. The IBM keyboard is a new product also. It is a cousin to the ThinkPad keyboard and connects to your PC via a USB cable. There are many interesting features to the keyboard including two USB ports on the back. I keep a zip-linq cable plugged into the keyboard. Before hitting the sack, I extend the retractable cable, connect the Treo, press one button on it’s touchscreen, and return in the morning to a completely synchronized and charged handheld.
