While on the subject of keyboards.  WHERE DID ATARI GET THE IDEA FOR
THOSE (&@#$@#$%#@ SLANTED FUNCTION KEYS?   They may LOOK "futuristic",
they may be GREAT for those who use their left hands to select them,
but they are a real PAIN for those (like me) who try to use their
right hands!  Why not SQUARE buttons?  (For that matter, why are they
all up in one row w/ NO seperation?......maybe the pushing two keys
problem would go away if they weren't slanted.....)

When will Atari learn that ergonomics means more than appearance
