The worst thing about Mac vs. PC keyboards is that Mac keyboards have
the home-key bumps on d and k, whereas PC keyboards have them on f and
j.  This really messes up my touch-typing.  I have no doubt I'd get
used to it eventually, though.

Sorry, utterly off-topic now...

The same goes for BASIC: I've thoroughly unlearned that, and Dijkstra
was wrong (if he was ever serious, which I guess he wasn't, really).
