• PCWord did a review of the 10 worst keyboards some time ago, and I can only agree that some of them are just plain ugly, and obviously totally inadequate for any serious computer-related task…

• A coworker of mine picked up a similar keyboard somewhere, and the key selling point was resistance to vandalism.

• I don’t have a picture, but about five years ago the local public library replaced its standard keyboards with something where the space bar was truncated, and the left 40% of it was a backspace key instead. Since I tap spacebar with my LEFT thumb, this caused me no end of frustration.

• Garg. Patent #5711624 describes the abominable thing, and it contains this gem of a rationalization: “(Almost all touch typists only use the right thumb to activate the spacebar and do not use the left thumb at all.)”

  My spacebar is worn shiny on the left side.

• Susan: I’m a lefty, so mine is all shiny on the left side too :)
