I've been told about the existence of one-hand chord keyboards.  They
are claimed to be easy to use, easy to learn, and at least as fast as a
usual QUERTY or Dvorak (sp?) keyboard.  I imagine they would be just
the thing for people who complain about having to take their hand off
their keyboard to use their mouse:  keep one hand on the keyboard and
the other on the mouse.

So are these things for real?  Does anyone out there have one?  Does
anyone market these things?  I'd love to have one hooked up to my Amiga.

Please mail responses to me, as I don't usually read these groups.  If
I get much response, I'll sumarize to these groups.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
