	Doug, he has a three-key keypad, uses it for everything (except
word processing ... for that he has a typewriter!). Interviewed CM for
an article recently ... he even does the CAD work for SHBOOM on three-key.

	For instance, the keys can be "red green blue". There is eight-color
menu on top. If you want selection "yellow", press "red green" together.

	CM says he plans to replace three-key keypad with a trumpet ...
same number of keys, make life more interesting in the computer room!
