	I bet SOMEONE markets keycap stickers to put over the current keyboard
layout.. If not, maybe I should! Maybe I could make some dough..
(but as someone else noted, yer not supposed to look at the keys! 
Unfortunately, eons ago in my 7th grade typing class, my typewriter with-no-
letters-on-the-keys broke, and the only one they had left was one with letters
on the keys so I got into being a finger-watcher. Yet, I have typed this 
whole parenthetical comment without looking at the keys, and everyone seems
to think that I type like a bat out of hell, so...  God, what rambling!)

	I am not positive of the following, but I am pretty sure that you CAN 
have two ADB keyboards connected to the same GS. However, they are 
electronically considered to be the SAME keyboard. Like you can hit CONTROL
on one keyboard, and RESET on the other keyboard, to reboot.
	In a previous discussion on this topic, I think it was said that
the Mac CAN tell the keyboards apart somehow. Hell, maybe you could on the GS
if you didn't use built in tools or something. I'm just speculating.

	No, Mr. IBM PC guy did not invent the Dvorak keyboard layout. He is
distantly related to the keyboard Dvorak though.
