All I got to go by is what I see in the computer magazines and
ads. Maybe the .02% of people who work with vast network systems
and mainframes, but I dont see that stuff for sale from Egghead,
Home depot, Circuit City, et al, that 99.8% of everyone else
uses. as for foreign kybds, I dunno about the oriental, but I've
seen german and spanish ones with the very same extended keyset
for sale at the same kind of low prices, under 10$.
I spoze you could get a dumb terminal keyboard without these,
but why would anyone pay more for something with less functionality?
Is is not that market for which 99.8% of software is being written?
Of course, there are real functinality issues with the kybd as it
is, but it is a standard, just like the x86.
