Try every time I log in; that is, I won't be the only person using the
keyboard!  Of course, for the electronic notepad idea, I probably would
be; but soft keycap symbols would be nice to have anyway, because that
way I can configure mine for Dvorak and the next guy can configure his
for QWERTY, instead of having to buy different versions.  They
*definitely* would be nice for a terminal that multiple people are
likely to use.
