Salsa
Salsa is one thing I make very often. We love Mexican food and the stuff in the jar just does not compare to fresh homemade salsa. Normally I like to use fresh tomatoes for this salsa, but I have listed here my recipe using canned tomatoes so that you can prepare this any time of year. For fresh tomatoes, just substitute about 2 cups, chopped. When using fresh I prefer to use Romas .
the four buttons on the left are the controls of your cd player if you play music while you work.
The big round button is the Mute Button.
the two buttons on the right are the Volume control for your speakers. Second only to the battery indicator in utility.
Mouse
The mouse is an optical mouse, which is probably the greatest enhancement to mice since the PS2 adaptor. Two Button mouse with scroll, the action of it is firm, firmer than logitech or microsoft mice. Once you get used to it, you will be able to break bricks with your index finger. Okay maybe not, but it does have a firmer action.
The receiver is this pod looking thing.
Pod
It has indicators for Caps, Num, Scroll Lock and Act, (activity).
The big button is the connect button that you will only need to use the first time you plug it in.
You really really need this.
