With all the hoopla over ADB, it amazes me that nobody is addressing these questions: 1) Wouldn't it be just about as good if NeXT simply made a version of the new keyboard that worked with the old, non-ADB hardware? Wouldn't this please most folks? (I certainly would be satisfied) 2) Isn't it a bit of a tall order to expect NeXT to come up with an ADB upgrade? We're talking about replacing chips on the motherboard, and tearing up hardware. Please inform me if I am off base on this. In sum, I encourage NeXT, or, even better, a third party, to design a new NeXT keyboard with the same vital ergonomic features as the new ADB unit, and make it compatible with the old hardware.
