[ale] In praise of MicroSoft

[Jim Kinney]

I have a happy hacking lite (love it!) and a Matias USB 2.0 (
http://matias.ca/usb2keyboard/index.php) . Both have a 2 port usb hub so I
can add a mouse but the Matias adds an additional USB2 port on top of the
keyboard for things like thumbdrives. so it's sticking up in plain site and
I won't forget it! Key feel is tactile resistance similar to but softer
than the HH.

I'm currently using the matias for hte Mac. It has no caps lock on the left
and a tiny one under the left side of the right shift key. Additionally, it
has a nice set of extra glyphs that are accessible directly on a Mac using
the flower key and option key combos. I started on a suitable Linux keymap
but ran into too many existing desktop things that used those buttons
already. Grr.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
