Where can I get a chord keyboard?  This is the one-handed keyboard; you
hold down 2 or more keys at once for different character combinations.

Historical note: Douglas Englebart invented the mouse for use with the
chord keyboard to make the perfect workstation: mouse with one hand,
type with the other.  This obviously superior system was ignored by 
certain micro-computer architects who have a habit of horribly mangling
good ideas :-(
