Well, yes,
obviously the location is the issue, but it is still just another
tedious MS-bash; I've got an APL keyboard here, and I think every
"classic" terminal or computer keyboard I have here is different in
some "improved" way but I don't hear complaints about that, or all the
different PC layouts, especially the enter, backspace and \ keys.
Exactly. Particularly since it was claimed that *any* keyboard
with a Win key
is the #1 awful keyboard. Give me a fsckin' break. There are plenty
of keyboards that are much worse than that -- there are keyboards that
require you to lift your fingers off the home keys in order to reach
CTRL, for instance. Try that with emacs. There are plenty of
keyboards that don't let you type lower case. And so-on.
So where is your stock of classic keyboards? They only keyboards
I can think of that are not lowercase today is your TTY's.

PS. No comments about where to buy a better keyboard... I am broke
until after the new year.
