If I hadn't returned it, you could have mine. Everyone raved about them
so I bought one, just too entrenched in my hand/finger movements to adapt
to it and returned it after two or three weeks of trying. To this day,
everyone else I know who used one absolutely loved/loves them. My oldest
son has a really bizarre keyboard on his desktop Mac, another which I
cannot use. (Old dogs, new tricks thing, I guess.<g>)

I can't stand a regular keyboard for long. My wrists start hurting almost
immediately from the awkward angle. One reason I've never considered
buying a laptop.

A Kensington by chance? I think that was the name. I used to have my eye
on this really weird keyboard that was two dish-shaped pads. All the keys
equidistant from your fingers, and you could put the pads some considerable
distance apart. I looked at it in magazines. It was extremely expensive.
Then the Natural came out shortly thereafter. It's close enough. About
the only good idea Microsoft ever had. Unless they ripped off this idea
too.
