This is why I spent 4 months looking for a keyboard for the PC I put together: Epson makes a very good one. I'm in the same boat as Crispin, though: I'm a fast touch typist (owing to over a decade of daily touch typing) and I far prefer vi to almost all text editors out there. The absolute worst word processor or text editor I have ever experienced is WordPerfect: I hate systems that make me lean heavily on function keys, which are no where near the home row on QWERTY keyboard. -- Darren Senn Phone: (408) 479-1521 sinster@scintilla.capitola.ca.us Snail: 1785 Halterman #1 Wasurenaide -- doko e itte mo soko ni anata wa iru yo.
