I’m tempted to say, it’s just plain stubbornness, but there’s more to it. There was a time I was not fond of the DIRECTV Ready TV. I actually own a 2011 model, and to be…
OK so I’m being a little dramatic. Personally I use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse on my PC and they work fine. In fact, Bluetooth is a great technology for connecting these things, because it’s built…
