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. :( Steve
