Chord keyboards are just find -- as long as you have 5 functional fingers on
each of two hands. Standard keyboards make computers, tty's and typewriters
accessible to a much larger audience, including those with missing fingers,
arthritis, and diseases affecting muscle coordination or strength. Speed for
perfect humans is not always the best criterion for designing a product.

Cheers,

Eric.
