I am reading this as I type it on my 21" Apple monochrome monitor,
which I love.  I am talking to our Sun via my new Mac IIcx, which
I also love.

I am typing this on my Apple extended keyboard, which I hate.
I am firmly convinced that the key layout was done after long
consultations with a Ouija board; the only other possibility is
that the key layout spec was written by one of those strange
artsy-fartsy types as a performance art piece.

Does anyone know of an extended keyboard (i.e., with function
keys, I need those) that has the control key to the left of the
'a', rather than the ever-so-useful locking caps lock key?
And with the esc key somewhere slightly closer at hand than the
Outer Slobovia location on this monstrosity?  I could live with
the rest of it if I could just have these two changed.

Any pointers to a "real" keyboard, regardless of expense, would
be greatly appreciated!
