In article <20010204005601.306EE199D7@mail.cse.psu.edu> you write:
>I remember sitting in a Paris Internet caf being confounded
>by the miserable keyboard, in which everything was UPPER CASE
>and CAPS LOCK was really SHIFT LOCK and the letters were in
>different places and - worst of all - period, comma, semicolon,
>and the other punctuation characters were in screwy places.
>I sympathize.
what, you didn't take your happy hacking keyboard with you?
(Yeah, I'm ignoring the fact that in said Paris Internet
Cafe, you were probably using an OS that expected a French
keyboard....)

ps- what keyboards are Bell Labs folks using now, anyways?
I like the HHKB, except that it doesn't have a builtin ``view''
key, and I don't dig on the idea of having to hit ``fn'' to
use the error keys as view.... I thought it would be cool
to map the left alt/meta keys to Alt, and the right alt/meta
keys to up and view, respecticely. I don't have a machine
up which will take my HHKB right now, though, as my thinkpad
doesn't seem to be able to take an external keyboard.
