  I recently wrote about why I love my keyboard on my site [cwinters.com] as well.

    I probably should have given you credit; one of your journal entries inspired this. I hadn't seen which type of keyboard it was, though.

    I have been fortunate, as I have never had a hint of carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis, so haven't felt the need to jump to an ergo of any sort. I should probably be <buzzword>proactive</buzzword> and get used to one soon...

  is an old-style PC keyboard with the function keys on the left side, as God intended. I wonder how many billions of dollars of Carpal Tunnel damage and lost productivity was inflicted by Bill Gates' changing the keyboard to undermine WordPerfect?

    Wow, I didn't know Bill Gates had that kind of power! It's a good thing he's not British or all the steering wheels in the US would be on the right :-)

      Mr. Gates is the most powerful human on the planet. The only word that's uncertain in that sentence is "human".

      Timbo, serving out a proprietary mixture of drivel and hyperbole since 1971.

    I will keep my eye open for one for you... sometimes the level of crufty hardware stashed in Alaskan back rooms is amazing. I hope you don't mind an old one...
