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 -Richard Hartman max.hartman@ames-vmsb ------
