Lines: 20 From: Kirk KelleyHigh-powered design and composition work on a computer seem to require rapid alternating key and mouse input so that one hand is always on the mouse and one always on the keys. I've been happy using a simple five piano-key chordboard for the last decade, but there does not seem to be a market for it as a peripheral. So maybe it is time to throw away both it and my querty and move up to the 14 key chordboard like the kind developed at IBM Cambridge Scientific Center. I hear their chord keyboard is comparable in speed to a two handed keyboard. Anyone know where I can beg borrow or buy one? -- kirk Phones: (415) 856-1783, (408) 446-6604.
