Yeah, I was responding to Stephen's implication that *everything* was going 
to other input devices.

That being said, I find real, fullsize keyboards so superior for everything 
that I use a computer for, including email and web browsing, and tiny 
non-tactile devices so difficult and frustrating to use, that I have so far 
felt absolutely no desire to use anything but a real keyboard for these 
purposes. To this day I don't have a cell phone or a tablet and do very 
nicely without them. I do have a laptop, but I hate its flat, tiny 
keyboard, and so I plug in a full-size USB keyboard whenever I have to use 
it for an extended period (pretty much only for training presentations).
