I don't care (much) about where the ports are, whether it tilts, etc.  I want
to hear from anybody who know whether it is easy to type on if you have large
hands (ok, ok, fat fingers).  When I switched from using my IBM Selectric 3 to
using my mac (the original keyboard), I found my typing speed was reduced by
at least a third;  The keys are just too close and small!

So, does anybody know of a keyboard with a large layout and large keys for the
Mac II?  Something like the Selectric 3, for instance?
