Why shouldn't folks complain about the poor keyboard layout on the IBM PC? The simple fact is, it's inconvenient to use because IBM designed its keyboard with a non-standard layout. IBM or not, I think it's important that computer companies get the message that the burden of adaptability in the face of inconvenience lies not with the user, but with the designers that created the inconvenience in the first place. Blind loyalty as shown by the recent article from someone at rabbit telling us to "like the IBM PC keyboard or lump it, but stop complaining about it" is dead wrong. If something sucks, it should be rejected. Ken Rhodes Tektronix, Inc. tekmdp!kennethr
