Northgate Computer Systems makes a fine keyboard IMHO.  I am in no
way related to their sales, so I don't get anything from giving
them a plug.  For anybody that is interested here is their address
and phone number:

	NorthGate Computer Systems, Inc.
	141 North Jonathan Blvd.
	Chaska, MN 55318

	Keyboard sales: 1-800-548-1993

This keyboard has a set of dip switches which allows things like
swapping the Caps-Lock and Control keys, etc.  It even supports
making a keyboard with a Dvorak layout.  It allows you to configure
the keyboard repeat rate, blah, blah, blah...

I know this is not the right place for such a topic, so forgive me,
but I had to say something.  My computer at work is a Dell and it
had one of those blooming WinSchnooze keyboards. :(
