HTPC - diNovo Mini Success

Yesterday we made a quick run to BestBuy [fyi - they open an hour later on Sunday, Argh!] to pickup the Bluetooth adapter and 10' USB A-A extension cable. I had ordered from the web for in-store pickup because I like to know they have what I want in stock. After we got home I noticed that the box that the Kensington USB adapter came in didn't look anything like what I had seen on the web. A closer inspection revealed that this product is only rated for a 33 foot range. I was a little pissed to say the least and figured that they gave me the wrong part but decided I would worry about that later and give the extension cable a try with the usb adapter the diNovo came with. I quickly ran the cable up behind the TV and then ran to grab the mini. Success! Now I'm easily able to control the HTPC from the bedroom.
