- I may be in the minority here, but I simply adore the Powerbook
- keyboard. Okay, okay, so it *looks* like the Apple //e keyboard. Okay,
- so it has the height of a Smurf keyboard. But I find that for
- touch-typing, it is incredibly fluid. I make far fewer mistakes with
- the Powerbook keyboard than with a normal desktop model. Just my
- experience.

- P.S. I like having the trackball next to the keyboard, as well -- a
- HUGE improvement over the mouse.

- P.P.S All data IMHO.
