A friend has a Happy Hacker. Takes it to wrk with him ,too. I borrowed it. Nice layout. I like a lighter clickier key feel, like IBM Thinkpad keyboards. I've tried a few cheap keyboards with that feel, but they flake out - the thinkpads have been reliable. All the pricey "nice" keyboards I've tried at work have a heavier less clickey feel :-( But what actually bugged me is that it (the HHK) lacks function keys (well, you can get them, but...) I use Alt-Fn to switch desktops and Shift-Fn to push a window to a desktop. I find that very fast and easy. On a HHK it ain't the same. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Hard work is damn near as over-rated as monogamy. - Huey P.
