I've been not paying attention to the ``state of the art'' of the IBM
PC world, having been in the Unix world for the past 3-4 years.  
I'm now looking for a reasonable keyboard for an IBM PC, and I'm not
quite certain it exists.  These are my requirements, roughly in order
of priority.

	1)  The control key _*HAS*_ to be above the shift key.  I can
type enough control sequences to blitz out anyone trying to use a
mouse, and I don't want that to change.

	2)  The '|' and '\' key has to be located in a reasonable
place, preferably to the right on the single quote/double quote key
--- I use TeX and LaTeX far too much to deal with the backslash key
out in Siberia.  The vertical bar is also indispensible if I'm running Unix.

	3)  The tilde/backquote key should be located to the left of
the digit keys.  Again, I'm a unix weanie, and those characters are
are quite necessary.

	4)  The escape key should ideally be next to the tilde key,
for easy access.  (Of course, there *will* be a meta key, so there
won't be that much need for an escape key, but.....)

I don't care about the rest; I hardly care about function keys nor
keypads.  Does anybody know of any commerically available keyboard
that meets this requirements?  Thanks!!!!!
