I saw the infamous "Space Cadet Keyboard" photos a while back and had a good 
chuckle.  Then I noticed what PC manufacturers were selling with their 
latest-and-greatest and quickly decided I didn't know which was worse - the 
original Space Cadet KB or the modern version of the same.

One thinks, chuckling quietly to avoid disturbing the other lunatics, perhaps 
one should make a Space Commandant Keyboard, with keys from 
every-which-where, every-which-where.  A full "Space Cadet Keyboard" for the 
alphanumerics and the first set of function keys, then a top row of funciton 
keys, and a side double row of function keys, then another four rows above 
the other set ... ;)

Then add a full 104-button mouse, and a few other pointer devices just for 
fun, and ...  I jest! :-)
