So I use Acer with VNC, to access my office desktop, so no chances of dropping the connection/messing up AC.

Hmmm... hadn't thought of that. I don't know anything about VNC. The idea was to have a light, non-intrusive input device in the room for my nurse to capture the important points, then forward the chart to my laptop with wireless keyboard at our central counter to finish up the note, print Rxs, etc.

Joseph2: do you type in the room with the patient? I'm just not comfortable doing that. I like to sit close to the patient and just jot down key words for dictation as we talk.
