Now I see, going from VT100's to Sun's keyboard would be an improvment!

I hate where the delete key lies, it is too easy when you are on a roll
to hit it with then enter key.  I have never had to use a "flexxing" 
keyboard, I guess I am lucky.  I really like the keyboard on my z29.

The <> keys should be next to the "m" (which Sun did, clap clap)

One thing, at least Sun didn't put the ESC key all the way up in the 
corner off the main set of keys like IBM.  It would be nice it the 
caps lock was between the "a" and control keys.

I don't like the "rubbery" feel of the keyboard either.  And while we
are talking about Suns, I hate the display, as it seems to drain you
of all your energy.  After a few hours at the (color) screen you walk 
away yawning and rubbing your eyes.

This must be your problem then ;-)  Very large amounts of sugar,
a large cup of hot water and disolve a few vivarin's in there too.

I'm set.
