	The TRON project in Japan has specified this (or a similar)
keyboard as the standard for all TRON systems.  Interesting concept,
and it may well succeed in Japan, but I couldn't see this new keyboard
concept ever gaining foot in North America.  Unless perhaps it was
pushed on unsuspecting young'uns in public school...

	I second the request for info on how to obtain one of these
things, though.  I'd love to try it out.
