  17. So it would seem, but I think you might be in for a surprise if you actually
  18. tried a Microwriter chord keyboard.  On the other hand, if you're happy and
  19. productive with the 95LX, then I don't recommend a change.  For "the rest
  20. of us" who have difficulty dealing with tiny QWERTY's, the Microwriter is
  21. something to consider.
