Are any of the pen-system companies looking into single hand > chorded keyboards? I recommended this very thing to some GO people this past summer. I would expect that they and other pen based companies are well aware of the need for fast, one handed data entry solutions and will either look into themselves or refer people to other solution vendors such as: * Infogrip W(504) 336-0033 F(504) 336-0063 812 North Boulevard Baton Rouge, LA 70802 which is applying one and two-handed chord-based technology in a number of innovative areas, including portable applications. > What do folks think of solutions like that? It is a good idea. -- Bob Weiner rsw@cs.brown.edu Whatever it is this disclaims it. Imagine if you could actually find out what you wanted when you wanted it.
