PICTURES: lexmark.gif -- the Lexmark keyboard mskeybd.gif -- the Microsoft Natural Keyboard mskeybd-proto.gif -- version of MS Keyboard that didn't make it New information in the Keyboard FAQ =================================== I updated the "Using a PC's keyboard on your workstation" section. Compatibility is a really messy thing. Microsoft, of course, has their new keyboard out, at a suggested retail price of $99.95. Not bad, but not as good as some of its (more expensive) competition. Ingle International apparently has a new keyboard. I've also seen something weird in Computer Shopper from Dalco Electronics (800-445-5342) for $76.80. If you have more info about either keyboard, please mail me!
