You mean the projected keyboard?  I don't think I could use that.  I 
need the tactile feedback, both the keys going up and down, and the 
feel of the key tops so I know my fingers are in the middle of a key, 
instead of hitting two keys.

When I'm in "creative" mode, I think completely differently than when 
I'm programming.  I can't deal with complex command sequences or 
anything like that.  I get lost in what I'm doing.
