   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. I did ... see windows keyboards. But then I am cheap, I don't spend
money on a real keyboard. Not that I have seen a modern keyboard I did like.

Different keyboard layouts have been a fact of life since the very first one that
wasn't the same as a typewriter; deal with it.

Find yourself an old one that you *do* like (if such a thing exists) and spare 
us your bitching and moaning.

Back to our regular programming...
