- Actually, we don't. Have you seen one of the new "Win95" PC keyboards?
- They have three extra keys on the keyboard which could be remapped
- to the special amiga keys:
- Left Windows -> Left Amiga
- Right Windows -> Right Amiga
- "Menu" (Or whatever it's name is) -> Help
-
- All it takes is a couple of stickers, instant amiga keyboard! :)
- This would let everyone choose their own favourite keyboard, even one of the
- ergonomic ones.
