WHY doesn't some smart company make a fabulously nice keyboard, one with mechanical keys like the old Extended II, and sell it for $99? I would buy one if it were good enough. I have told companies like Dr. Bott about my idea but get universally ignored. Seems like a no-brainer to me -- I mean, what part of your computer do you have the most contact with? The keyboard. Oh well. -- ________________________________ J-LIST http://www.jlist.com Thousands of unique products from Japan, from Hello Kitty toilet paper to miniature sushi to our world-famous "I'm looking for a Japanese girlfriend" T-shirts.
