Well, if you're going to perpetuate it, I'm sorry but I have to chime in. Exterminate your own keyboard, because I happen to like them quite a bit. I am a fast touch typist, and I find "standard" keyboards very UNnatural, thank you very much. Not my problem if you can't type on one. Keep your politics off my keyboard. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
