        What doesn't the keyboard do?
        
        As for video, aren't you still stuck with dumb terminals as the 
        main limitation? Unless they do FoxPro for X nothing will really 
        change from that perspective.
        
        We supply hardware and integration services to a software house 
        that sells a $60K foxbase application. They did not wait for 
        fancy video to come out. They simply automate warehouseing 
        applications.
