I've come to this discussion a few months late, but I just wanted to add my strongest recommendation for Kinesis keyboards to Keith's and Ben's. Their contoured keyboards have quite simply saved my career from certain demise: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/contoured.htm I can't say that about any other piece of electronic kit I've ever bought, no matter how fancy - when viewed in that light, it transforms the seemingly crazy investment of several hundred dollars on a couple of keyboards into a complete no-brainer. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
