I have been considering an ergo keyboard, and based on your 
email I hit CompUSA today.  The keyboard seemed nice, except 
that it has the backslash key in the lower right corner near 
CTRL (which I *hate*).  Do you recall the specific reasons 
that the M$ ones sucked?  The only other keyboard they had 
was the $120 cordless Logitech, which I simply won't consider.

I'll probably hit Best Buy the next time I'm over on that end 
of town.  I know they have a half decent selection.
