Sheesh.  I can't even write good English.  I meant to say "I have NOT 
seen it."

And of course, as soon as I sent this note this morning, two people 
responded.  So I guess it did go out.

Sure, I have the current standard keyboard that comes with the G5.  Its 
feel is better than the keyboard on my wife's Dell [ :-) ], but not as 
crisp as with my old ADB extended keyboard.  The current USB keyboard 
also feels cramped to me, all the keys smashed together.  Forever and 
ever I have had the F keys programmed in MSWord, to do repetitive tasks.  
My old keyboard is plastered with stickers above and below the row of F 
keys, to remind me of the key commands.  It ain't pretty, but I would 
like a keyboard that gives me room to label the F keys as I wish.

The CompUSA idea is a good one--I'll go there and play with keyboards and 
mice.

Will anything that is USB work with a Mac?  Or does one need to get 
Mac-specific keyboards and mice?

Does anyone have the Matias Tactile Pro Keyboard?  It's supposed to be 
very much like the old extended keyboards.

Thanks to all.
