Although the key cap doesn't show it, Shift-Escape yields a tilde on
the old keyboard.  I think that's a pretty standard place for it.
Too bad the key doesn't show it.  I think the old keyboard is pretty
close to perfect, and I'm pretty picky about my keyboards.

I still haven't learned to like the new keyboard.  Can't live without
\ and | somewhere reachable.

But, before we get going on this again, we must realize that keyboards
are highly personal things and SOMEONE must like the new keyboard.  If
you're out there, and you really LIKE it, send me some mail.  I've never
heard anybody say anything nicer than "I can tolerate it."
