The only thing wrong with the Mac's keyboard is that the caps lock key is a physically locking key; this means, as we all know, that you can't use it for a control key, as it should be. It is so refreshing to use the Mac's keyboard after dealing with the monstrosities that DEC (and other companies) are hawking now (see the keyboard on the VT2?? series of terminals or the VaxStation for examples of what I mean). "Real men don't use function keys when editing." They touch type and want to keep their keys on the home row. (They also want a mouse with more than one button, but that's a different story...:-) Cheers, chris ----------
