Last night there was brief moaning by people who wanted keybards without the 
Windows(tm) keys.  IBM sells two USB keyboards that meet all my requirements.  Ctrl 
and Alt are right next to the space bar.  That little key on the left is a function 
key.  The travel keyboard is the same as the one on my T30 laptop which I love.

The nubs on the F and J keys wore off, but it was easy enough to make new ones out of 
bits of plastic and glue them on with Krazy Glue.  My biggest complaint is the "back" 
and "next" buttons next to the arrow keys.  I've trained myself not to touch them but 
I still hit them by accident once in a while.  If I owned my laptop I would just pop 
them off with a screwdriver and they would never be a problem.  I quickly turned off 
the touch pad and buttons since that's right where I rest my thumbs.

I haven't bought one yet, so if any of you know of something better, let me know.
