The DEC VT220 keyboard (the ``LK201'') uses the ISO standard layout.
The ORIGINAL IBM PC keyboard used a similar layout.  Both had an
extra key between ``z'' and left shift, and between quotes and return.
Personally, I hate them both.

More and more companies are using a layout like the Apple Saratoga (IBM's
new keyboard, for example).  I like that just fine.  So, to add another
slogan to our vocabulary:

ISO -- just say NO!
