To the left *and* right of the space bar, to be precise.

And maybe the reason that comment hasn't passed in the discussion
is that it isn't a "serious criticism" for everyone.

My Most Favourite Terminal right now - the 4424 - also has the CTRL
keys to the L&R of the space bar, and I rather like them there myself.
I use 'vi' rather than 'emacs', but 'vi' requires pretty constant use
of the CTRL key, too.  Personally, I like the position of CAPS LOCK key
on the UNIX PC - typewriter position, left, above the shift key, which
is where many other terminals/computers put the CTRL key.

More proof, I guess, that the keyboard on any computer or terminal
is a VERY personal thing - one person's meat, etc.
