    In terms of being able to touch type, I too have been frustrated by
different keyboards (and these were different generations from one
computer vendor).  I recently ran into 2 different people at Data General
who have customized their terminals to require touch typing.  One rearranged
all of his keys, and the other substituted blank keys.  Fortunatly, I had
spent 4-5 years on that particular make of terminal, and my fingers still
remembered where the various non-alphabetic chars are, even though I have
switched to the newer (and more comfortable) model.
