// One pleasant exception to the continuing
// devolution of (esp. pc) hardware...

what is it you like so much about these keyboards? they're
huge! this is something of a bother for any OS, but in Plan
9 and Inferno - particularly within Acme - it's a killer. the
extra 6" to get to your mouse (for right-handed mousers,
anyway) makes it significantly more tiresome to use. and
that says noting of desk space.

i love the lexmark, and have tried numerous keyboards to
find acceptable alternatives. i've decided the best keyboard
on the market is the Happy Hacking keyboard, from PFU
(http://www.pfuca.com). i've used their regular and "lite"
models (never the "lite 2"). the normal model has the nice
property of working both with PC and Sun hardware, with
only a different cable (Mac too, but i've not done that).
