They're not particularly keen on adding new _useful_ keys either. Just internet shortcuts and volume controls. Something like the Sun keyboards comes to mind; I remember them having various window control keys down the left-hand side. I'd be glad to have keys for maximise/minimise, send- to-front/back, etc. It'd be nice to replace the F1 to F12 keys as I never use those. The most comfortable keyboard I've used is the Apple Pro keyboard. I also like the "feel" of laptop keyboards, except for the compressed size. My current ex-PC General keyboard is good enough though, despite several keys having the letters rubbed off. My least favourite kb of all time? The C64 followed closely by the BBC Micro. Then just after that comes those noisy old "click"-action PC keyboards. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
