   Three prototypes?  Something ain't quite right here - seems to me
the wise thing to do would be to put out some tested,tried,true
keyboards along woth the prototypes, just in case people preferred
something that already works.  When they asked which one you
preferred, did they allow "none of the above"?

   We're currently evaluating a Dec5000.  Like any other machine, it
has a few minor problems.  But the keyboard is definitely junk.
