Bob, at least in my opinion. I cannot imagine spending
$359 for a keyboard.
But you did buy a copy of BBEdit, right? :-) It doesn't cost
$359, but typing must be pretty important to you, and so maybe a
top-notch keyboard is worth the cost as well. You never know
until you try.
Speaking just for myself, if there's a device that makes me more
efficient and productive, it's usually worth the cost, even if
that cost is an order of magnitude (or more) than similar
devices. I _can_ imagine spending $359 for a keyboard, if it
increases my productivity, reduces my chances of RSI during
extended typing sessions, and dispenses candy. (Or at least if
it has a candy dispenser available as an option.)
I feel the same way about software. If there's a piece of
software that does the job and makes me more productive, it's
probably worth it. Even if it doesn't dispense candy.
Sorry for the digression. :-) Any continuations of this branch
of the thread should probably be taken off list...

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
