They've been making mice for 30 years, keyboards for 20.

And that all that I will use. Especially their ergonomic keyboards. Typing on one of these right now. To go back to a standard in-line keyboard is very uncomfortable for me now. I hate them.

#19 The story (as I make it up...) is that Bill Gates left a normal keyboard in his car on a hot day. When he saw how the keyboard melted it into the shape you see today he figured he could sell it to others thing it was ergonomic.

He was right.

You have a point with the ergonomic keyboards. I started on a real typewriter, graduated to teletype in the military, then to an IBM Selectric. My wrists welcomed the ergo-keyboard.

Some day, the laptops will move toward them.
