I'm enlightened as well :), so I don't use the arrow keys much, but there are more and more things which are breaking emacs keybindings nowadays. The big thing for me is the number pad. I do a lot of number crunching and doing the top row just won't cut it for me. I'm also hesitant to get a separate keypad because I've used them before for my laptop and just doesn't feel right. When I have to switch 'feel' between typing and doing numbers I don't adjust very well. But in looking at their site more I saw that they do have a guarantee on the keyboards, so I'll probably buy one and try it and see if the keypad issue is one I can live with or not. With that once exception, I'm very impressed with the keyboard. Now I just have to try it and see how it feels. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
