On the topic of chord keyboards, can I mention the Agenda. This is an
electronic organiser that derives from a protable word processor known
as the microwriter. It features in addition to a tiddly alphabetic
keyboard a one handed chord keyboard. Its great. You can use it on
trains and planes, standing up, sitting down, without looking etc.
etc. It is easy to learn (took me <10 minutes) and you can get up to
speeds faster than handwriting, though it is of course nowhere near as
fast a full two-handed keyboard. You can also connect the system to
your Mac and use the chord keys instead of the keyboard if you want.
The Agenda does feature a small but loyal following as someone has
suggested about such devices.

Lindsay
