Well, to combine this with another idea on the list of using a
seperate, identical receiver, hookup a keyghost to the receiver,
provide power through the keyboard connector (use a PS with decent
amperage, I would do 1A to make sure the receiver and keyghost get
the current they need) on the keyghost to power bith it and the
logitech receiver, then have it key up with the keybaord and record
away. Every couple days or so you could download the keyghost info
and then put it back.

Not only would this be small, it is portable as well so you could
move it around to different workstations if you wanted to gather data
from multiple places. This should bypass any encryption (if it even
exists) due to the fact that the receiver would decrypt it before it
sent it to the computer

First. This really doesn't have anything to do with the original
topic, but that's ok. I would just like to put my card in the pile,
as I am impressed with the KeyGhost [www.keyghost.com]. A co-
worker of mine bought one, and it is a quality product. A way to
possibly incorporate the KeyGhost into this conversation... Let me
give an example.

Someone is using a Logitech which uses an "advanced digital
technology" -Logitech ... Could one still use a KeyGhost in that
manner, placing the dongle upstream of the receiver? Not really an
important topic, just somewhat interesting.
