KEEP 'EM! I'm not a fan of the ST keyboard either but not for the reasons of the key top sizes. I'm a speed typist and can easily hit 70 wpm (when I'm really awake!) on the Mega keyboard. I really dislike the function key shape. I hate to see the style boys getting priority over function. I also wish that we had some sort of CAPS LOCK indicator. Gee, seems I voiced all of this during the summer of 1985, when I first bought an ST. GRIN, y'all. Now I'm not flaming here because I think the ST is the greatest thing since sliced garlic bread, but the keyboard has been a gnawing sore point for me. Larry Rymal
