Hehe. It wasn't so much the size of the keys, it was the lack thereof.
Backspace should not be a shifted character. What was it, like
function-S or something? I forget.
No clue. The first time I tried one, my hands went on strike after

before they'd speak to me again. :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
