And herein lies the biggest problem.  I *loath* the hp2621 keyboard.
I hate it so much I mutilated one last night (it was an accident,
really!).  There are funny keys in funny places that I bump with my hands,
not my fingers.  The CAPS and CTRL are reversed.  The feel is terrible.
The timing for the BREAK key crashed my microvax (thus, the mutilation).

Anyway, the problem is that we all like the keyboard we use the most.
Mark Horton and I use similar keyboards and like them.  Lee Vallone
likes a somewhat different keyboard.  I don't say he's wrong, but it's
going to be rough trying to make a standard here.

Maybe the hp2621 keyboards we have at Wisconsin are just mush, that's all.
The touch I like best is: Concept 108, uvaxII keyboard (dumb top-row
layout, though).  Given time, I can get used to anything, except a
Visual 200.
