Hi All,

Forgive my broadcast with multiple lists, but . . .

I just saw a new "ergonomic" keyboard from Acer at Ergonoimc Sciences.
Product information states:

"Acer Future keyboad, with its enhances, sleekly cureved style, is built
around unique, ergonomic design.  This model successfully maximizes
comfort for keyboarding by keeping your hands within a comfortable zone
of movement.

The Future keyboad keyboard splits into two keying fields to form a
roughly triangular shape.  A touch pad is embedded in the central area
with four arrow keys surrounding it.  The keys are laid out in a
sensible fasion" (From user's manual)

Palm rests are rounded plastic.  Touch pad is centered between left and
right key sections and has cursor keys ringing the touch pad.  The key
feel is light and clicky and alphanumeric keys appear to be flat or
maybe a slight negative tilt to them.

More on the next TIFAQ in May . . .  Meanwhile, Acer's website has some
information on the following webpage:

http://www.acer.com/aac/products/periph/futurkb2.htm

This is FYI and does not represent a product endorsement.  I understand
it sells for around $100-125 and looks like it would be a fair
competitor to the MS Natural keyboard.

Regards,

Scott

Listmembers may be interested in an article called "Political Ergonomics,"
I wrote for In These Times magazine, April 14-27, pp. 21-23. It discusses
the failure of the Clinton administration and Congress to move forward on
the workplace ergonomics standard.
