Maybe a better option is Dragon Naturally Speaking.

In the case of McCain, the basic ergo equipment wouldn’t be very useful.
When shoulders, arms, fingers have been broken again and again and not properly set over that time, you are not going to keep yourself in a position to use a computer nor
the fingers work let alone the pain

I can only feel on a certain level having had mega orthopedic surgeries, etc myself and am limited in various areas.

The President, any president, has better things to do with his time than “type”.

That’s what secretaries and speech-recognition software are for.

If he doesn’t already know how to type, he’s got really, really, really better things to do with his time than learn to type.

He may not want to type a lot but it may be something that could provide comfort should he want to just to use it at all.
I think the idea merits some thinking.

Do we really need our President to be on the computer?

He will, of course, need a copy of Mavis Beacon or the equivalent.

You're kidding, right? No one needs to learn touch typing before using a computer. McCain has better things to do.

“It’s important the keyboard shape conform to the curved shape of a hand at rest...”

I couldn’t agree with you more.

And having keyboard ergonomics connected with the Oval Office would be hugh and series... anything could happen. One interaction at that level could have a virtual butterfly effect on the entire industry.

None of this is free. I am ready to pay $100 toward making a setup Mr. McCain can use, especially if FR opens a fund for it.

That's ridiculous. If McCain wants this he certainly can afford it. He has a lot more money than the majority of Freepers do.

This would be nothing but an embarassment to the Senator while giving his enemies a subject for ridicule.

I would hope that this is not the intent here. It just seems to me to be too clever by half.
