	Sorry, can't help there...

	When my original gs keyboard died (the all-too-familiar "the ADB
connectors got munged"), I replaced it with an extended keyboard, which I
didn't see until it got to my Apt. It took a little while to get used to the
switch, but I did get used to it. Now, I've got a standard Mac keyboard and
an extended keyboard, and they switch between the Mac and the IIgs - it only
takes a few seconds to switch between using one or the other.

	So, what's the point of this overly verbose narrative? It didn't take
me too long to get used to the new placement, and it takes virtually no time to
"switch" the positions mentally. I don't consider myself a particularly apt
typist, so I guess that I'm recommending the extended keyboard...
