Thanks to everyone who responded to my keyboard question. Although the
happy hacking is very tempting, I think I am a bit too old for that much
of a change. I decided to give this one a try:
http://www.siig.com/products/keyboard/features/MinitouchPS2.html
It claims to be "clicky" which is what I love about my ancient IBM
keyboard.
I'll report back when it arrives.
Thanks,
-Mark

I've known some people with ergonomic issues (a.k.a. left-handedness) who
use this keyboard:

ct_ID=10&Category_ID=1
It is one keyboard in three sections, left hand, right hand, and
arrows/numeric that you can arrange however you'd like.
This one also looks like it trims off the numeric pad for better hand
placement:
