stephen gildea writes: The keyboard that Sun started shipping with the 386i and now ships with all machines, the type-4 keyboard, is a step backwards for an engineering workstation. i agree. the placement of the delete key (and the uselessly large and nearby backspace key) are very irritating. the meta key is miniscule. also, the lights on ours (for cap lock, num lock, etc) don't work, which makes the keyboard misleading. the only good thing about the new keyboards is that they lable the "L" function keys with their sunview function (in addition to the "L" number). monty mullig univ of chicago biological sciences division
